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 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.

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
