Course content
Sustainable Development of Denmark in the World
Affluence and/or Sustainability? Socio-Environmental Histories of Denmark Since 1969.
The global quest for sustainable development causes specific challenges for affluent societies like Denmark. Is it possible to promote worldwide equality while solving local and global environmental problems like climate change, and social challenges like inequality? And is it necessary to choose between material affluence and sustainability?
The course will introduce the recent socio-environmental history of Denmark in ways that touches a multitude of issues such as social cohesion, pollution, energy, biodiversity, nature, climate change, knowledge production, governance, economy, green jobs, technology, radical protests, environmental conflicts, food and everyday environmentalism. In seminars, discussions and workshops different analytical approaches will be tried when we investigate various strategies towards sustainable development. From the radical grassroots’ demands for social change to the establishment’s preference for technological fixes. The course includes excursions, a daytrip to the forest and guest lectures by climate activists with expert knowledge. Practical seasonal clothing is recommended.
