\[\\[0.1cm]\] The Politics of Inclusive Sustainability (co-lectured with Quynh Nguyen and Stefano Jud)
Fall 2026 at the University of Bern
This course introduces students to research on the relationship between social inclusion and the environment. Throughout the course, we explore why meaningful participation of marginalized groups can be a crucial solution for promoting environmental sustainability. In doing so, we examine the systematic factors that prevent these communities from having a larger influence in policymaking and delve into the strategies for, and effects of, promoting more inclusive environmental governance.
