Transdisciplinary Impulses towards Socio-Ecological Transformation: Engaged Reflections - Reflected Engagements

by Helge Kminek (Editor), Anna Geyer (Editor), Markus B. Siewert (Editor), Diana Hummel (Contribution by), Christian Stache (Contribution by)

Overview

Education for sustainable development should enable people to think and act in a way that is fit for the future, in the face of challenges such as climate change, environmental degradation, loss of biodiversity, poverty and inequality. How can different disciplines address this task? In this book, interdisciplinary contributions from philosophy, social sciences, and education are complemented by transdisciplinary contributions from practical fields such as museum education and journalism. These reflections help open up spaces for thinking in order to do justice to the complexity of the task of socioecological transformation.
