1 PhD course: Current Issues in Sustainability Research (3-7.5 ECTS) Jointly organised by LUCID and the School of Global Studies, Göteborg University Context Global environmental threats have suddenly become part of our everyday life, both in the form of news about natural disasters in different parts of the world and through a series of new scientific discoveries. Scientific knowledge about our planet as a system in which there is interplay between the atmosphere, oceans and land surfaces has increased dramatically in recent decades. In step with that development it is becoming progressively clearer that our political and economic systems must take these global challenges seriously. Sustainable development was launched 20+ years ago as society s response both to conventional social problems, such as poverty, conflicts and ill-health, and to the new global environmental problems, such as climate changes, the loss of biological diversity, water shortage and changes in land-use. Sustainability is a concept that is becoming increasingly used as human societies recognize the finite nature of many natural resources and the lingering ill effects of overconsumption, pollution, and poorly planned land uses. Sustainability science is a broad scientific field which studies integrated social and natural systems, processes and structures and in which the objective of knowledge is the promotion of transitions towards sustainability. The research area ranges over global, regional and local issues, events and relations. It focuses on the two important interfaces between the natural sciences and the social sciences and between scientific knowledge and the use of that knowledge by society in order to promote its sustainable development. Sustainability research is being developed primarily in the interfaces between existing areas of knowledge. It is thus explicitly interdisciplinary, its objective being to create new forms of co-operation across subject boundaries and over widely differing fields of knowledge. Taking its point of departure in a theoretical distinction between problem-solving and critical research, sustainability research strives to find new methods of bridging the knowledge cleavages between the natural sciences and social sciences, as well as those between science and practice. The overall objective of research-training in sustainability science is to produce qualified researchers who are able both to develop new knowledge and to problematise the role of knowledge and science in society s transition to sustainability. Proceeding from a brief overview of sustainability challenges, such as climate change, loss of biodiversity, water scarcity and land degradation, this course will provide a comprehensive overview of some of the most important debates in sustainability research. Learning Outcomes Knowledge and Understanding On completion of the course, the student shall demonstrate Understanding of the social implications of various sustainability challenges. Broad understanding of various and diverse approaches to addressing sustainability challenges, such as ecological modernization and de-growth.
2 A good understanding of various ontological and epistemological approaches in sustainability research. Insights into particular theoretical frameworks commonly used in sustainability research, such as transition theory and resilience theory. Skills and Abilities On completion of the course, the student shall demonstrate an ability to discuss the relationships between nature and society informed by insights from both social and natural sciences. demonstrate an ability for theoretically informed analyses of sustainability challenges. demonstrate an ability for integrating knowledge across disciplines and fields. Course Content The course consists of a series of seminars with a list of mandatory readings before each seminar. Participants will be asked to present their interpretations of selected papers in order to introduce the discussions during seminars. At the end participants will peer-review each other s papers. The seminars are structured around the following six themes: 1. Sustainability challenges 2. Ontology and epistemology in sustainability research 3. On the relationship between social and natural sciences 4. Problem solving and critical research 5. Grand theories related to sustainability 6. Theoretical frameworks and tools often used in sustainability research Teaching and Assessment The course is comprised of lectures, seminars, group discussions, students presentations, and written paper. The assessment is in the form of a paper and presentation of the paper. In order to get full credits, the participants must attend all the seminars. Grades The grades awarded in examinations are Pass and Fail. Venue All seminars will be held at LUCSUS, Lund. Course coordinator Professor Lennart Olsson, LUCSUS (Lennart.Olsson@lucsus.lu.se) Schedule Tentatively 8-9 and September 2014
