OSPPARIS 75P: Exploring Sustainability: Ecological Economics and Environmental Humanities (Way: ER, SI)

Instructor: Eloi Laurent, Audrey Strebelle

Sustainability, which in broad terms aims at advancing human well-being within planetary boundaries, is a vital necessity in the 21st century but also a “wicked problem” that demands to be studied from different angles and with ethical perceptive in mind.This innovative class offers two perspectives on sustainability. First, it pairs ecological economics with environmental humanities and ethics to allow for an interdisciplinary approach of sustainability’s challenges. Secondly, it offers a practical perspective on sustainability focused on the city of Paris to apply analytical insights on the ground and convert theory into sustainable and ethical practices.
