Description

The ecological crises we face today radically cut across boundaries. As a global phenomenon, these crises transverse geographical, national, and social boundaries, while as anthropogenic phenomena, they are the mark of humankind’s disregard for planetary boundaries. But the complexity of today’s ecological crises also requires us to break through the boundaries between academic disciplines and thus to think about these crises in an inter- or even trans-disciplinary way. It is important to do so, not only concerning the causes of myriad forms of environmental disruption, but just so when mapping out potential avenues for transformative and sustainable practices. This winter school aims to foster this kind of connection, understanding, and cooperation between doctoral researchers across disciplines.
