Annotation
How can we rethink sustainability in a more equitable way – beyond linear growth frameworks? In the Master’s degree programme Sustainability and Postcolonial Studies. Gender, Nature and History, you will acquire the ability to critically analyse and further develop global inequalities, (post-)colonial interdependencies, gender relations and sustainability concepts and practices.
In project-based learning, you will conduct research on a topic of your choice – from extractivist policies to circular economies. You will acquire skills in scientific-theoretical and empirical analysis, deconstruction and development of sustainability concepts and practices.
