The main aim of the course is to provide conceptual frameworks for studying and evaluating the impact that social movements for sustainability can have on the public agenda and decision-making. The course is a seminar course, although it starts with a few lectures on the history and different theoretical perspectives on social movements, introducing the students to the relevant literature.

In the course we will discuss the broad field of gender studies and the central issues, key concepts and analytical tools in the current debates regarding inequalities, diversities and social change relevant for sustainability. The course draws on global, regional and local empirical examples to illustrate issues of how gender and sustainability interact.

As a result, the notion of inner transformation (or inner transition) has emerged as a new area of exploration. The course explores this new area and creates space and opportunities for learning and knowledge development on this topic. Inner transformation, as used here, describes changes in the sphere of human interiority related to people’s (expanded) consciousness, mindsets, values, and beAs a result, the notion of inner transformation (or inner transition) has emerged as a new area of exploration.

The course focuses on the ‘political’ character of sustainability issues, that is, the necessarily power-laden nature of both sustainability problems themselves, and the solutions that are proposed to address them. The course provides an overview of the main theoretical concepts, debates and methodological approaches in current political ecology research.

Efter en introduktion till skillnaderna mellan webbskrapning och Application Programming Interfaces (API) lär sig studenten de grundläggande metoderna för att samla in data. Begränsningar för vilka typer av data som kan erhållas genom dessa metoder diskuteras ocksåAfter an introduction to the differences between approaches to web scraping, the student will learn to apply basic web scraping methods for collecting data. Limitations to what types of data are obtainable through these methods are also discussed.

Kursen består av två delkurser: Den första delen av kursen utgör en kort introduktion till genusvetenskap och dess tillämpning på naturvetenskap och teknik. Olika teorier inom genusforskning presenteras. Områden som lärandet av naturvetenskap och teknik, dess historia, kunskapsproduktion och kultur analyseras ur ett genusperspektiv.
