| Inhalt | Sustainability research in the social sciences is a rapidly developing field that covers a broad range of debates within and across various disciplines and problem areas. This poses a huge challenge to keep track of 'what is going on', to filter interesting topics and cope with the complexity of different contributions. Furthermore, there is a growing demand for social scientists to improve science communication, that is, condensing scientific results to comprehensible information to a broader target audience and through different communication channels. Therefore,the students will systematically identify and engage with a current topic of social science-based sustainability research: - They search and select current topics, and elaborate these topics by summarizing, for example, the state of the art, relevant backgrounds and dominant societal and political positions related to the topics. - They discuss empirical, theoretical, methodological and practical issues concerning current topics. - The developed topics will be presented and discussed orally and in written form. |
| Lernziele | By the end of the seminar the participants will have acquired competencies and skills necessary to disclose current topics of social science based sustainability research. Specifically, they will know how to set up systematic search strategies to find and delimitate relevant and current topics; how to elaborate the state of discussion in a given field; and how to specify knowledge gaps. Furthermore, they will learn how to summarize and communicate debates about current sustainability issues to the scientific community and the broader public. |
