Objectives

This is a transdisciplinary course taught by professors from three faulties of the universities of Lausanne (HEC, FGSE, Lettres) in cooperation with colleagues from Lancaster University. The current ecological crises can only be understood through transdisciplinary cooperation. From basic knowledge about climate change and other planetary boundaries to questions of sustainable marketing and accounting to crafting new narratives for the ecological transition to a critical debate on growth - the course will engage students in multiple dimensions of the current debate on sustainability and enable them to look beyond the narrow frame of their respective faculties. Master students from 3 different faculties can take the course (HEC, FGSE, Lettres).
