Kursen består av tre sammanlänkade komponenter som behandlas med särskilt avseende på humanekologi och kulturgeografi: 1) centrala vetenskapsteoretiska begrepp samt viktiga debatter och ståndpunkter i konventionell vetenskapsteori, 2) tvärvetenskaplighetens kritiska potential, och 3) kritisk vetenskapsteori. Genom dessa tre komponenter utvecklas den enskilde studentens förmåga att självständigt oThe course consists of three interconnected elements, which are particularly addressed in relation to the fields of human ecology and human geography: (1) key concepts in theory of science and central debates and positions in conventional theories of science, (2) the critical potential of transdisciplinarity, and (3) critical theories of science. On the basis of these elements, the course aims to

Kursen bygger på Kritisk tvärvetenskaplig vetenskapsteori, del 1. Medan del 1 introducerade centrala vetenskapsteoretiska begrepp och diskussioner samt tvärvetenskapens möjligheter och den vetenskapliga kunskapens situationella karaktär innebär del 2 ett fördjupat studium av de aktuella frågorna och en direktare tillämpning av kritisk vetenskapsteori och begrepp på konkreta forskningsfrågor i en aThe course builds directly on Transdisciplinary Critical Theory of Science, Part 1. While Part 1 introduces the students to key concepts and debates in theories of science, the potentials of transdisciplinarity and the situated nature of scientific knowledge, Part 2 takes the student deeper into the issues at hand, to engage more closely with critical theories of science and apply concepts to conc

Kursen behandlar forskningsdesign och forskningsstrategier, val av lämpliga metoder, systemtänkande och praktiska tillämpningar. Studenterna får en introduktion till olika humanekologiska forskningsmetoder och indikatorer för hållbarhetsanalyser och ska avslutningsvis genomföra en praktisk tillämpning av de introducerade metoderna.The course discusses research design and strategies, the selection of adequate methods, systems thinking and practical applications. It introduces a range of relevant human ecological research methods and indicators of sustainability analyses, and finalizes with a practical application of the taught methods.

Examensarbetet är ett självständigt arbete som behandlar förhållandet mellan människa och miljö och hållbarhetsfrågor från ett gränsöverskridande perspektiv. Arbetet ska behandla en specifik fråga inom humanekologi genom att tillämpa olika teorier och forskningsmetoder på en avgränsad uppsättning empiriska data. Frågeställningen, teorierna, metoderna, empirin och slutsatserna ska tydligt anges. DeThe students are assigned individual advisors while compiling their Master’s theses. The theses should address a particular issue within the field of Human Ecology, applying theoretical frameworks and research methods to a specific set of empirical data. The research question, theoretical framework, methods, empirical data, and conclusions should be clearly specified. The students are recommended

Kursen omfattar fyra delar med specifika teman: global miljöhistoria, ekonomier som kulturella system, symboliska dimensioner av relationen mellan människa och miljö samt världssystemets politiska ekologi. De fyra temana ger studenten centrala perspektiv och analytiska redskap för en integrerad och gränsöverskridande förståelse för de kulturella och politiska dimensionerna av hållbarhet. Den försThe course examines the wider historical, cultural, and political contexts of what we think of as the “economy” by illuminating its semiotic and epistemological as well as biophysical conditions. The course comprises four concentration modules focusing on intersecting themes: Global Environmental History; Economies as Cultural Systems; Symbolic Dimensions of Human-Environmental Relations; The Pol

I kursen utvecklas begrepp och analytiska verktyg för ett kritiskt förhållningssätt till ekologiska kriser, i skärningspunkten mellan politisk ekologi, kultur och identitet.  Genom att närma sig klimatkrisen och besläktade problem från flera teoretiska vinklar undersöker studenterna hur de reproduceras, förvärras, begripliggörs och utmanas genom människors kulturellt kodifierade relationer. SThe course enables students to develop concepts and analytical tools for a critical approach to ecological crises at the intersection between political ecology, culture and identity. By approaching the climate crisis and associated problems from different theoretical angles, the students explore how the problems are reproduced, aggravated, explained and challenged by the culturally codified relati
