Explore critical approaches to sustainability, with theories and methods that can help you to discover and support alternative and diverse pathways and perspectives.
Major social and environmental challenges around the world have provoked a search for solutions. But sustainability is about more than fixing technical problems. Seeking equitable, diverse responses is a political challenge, requiring struggle and understanding between many perspectives and values in the face of incomplete knowledge about the world. The way knowledge is used and produced is also shaped by unequal relations of power.
This free and Open Access six-part course draws on the work of the ESRC STEPS Centre in addressing this challenge.
The course builds on the Summer School on Pathways to Sustainability run annually by the STEPS Centre. Themes include understanding policy processes, uncertainty, technology and innovation, resource politics, and methodologies.
