LUCSUS seminars
Thursdays 11 am to 12 noon CET
The LUCSUS seminars is a research seminar series with researchers at LUCSUS as well as invited guests working with societal change and transformations for sustainability.
Theme Spring 2022: Connecting the Local and the Global
Issues ranging from climate change and pandemics to finance and digitalization often evoke notions of ‘the global’. Yet, though global, these processes are always grounded in the local; emerging from, having impact on, and transformed by concrete local contexts and experiences. Connecting the global with the local is central to LUCSUS research and teaching. With this seminar series we zoom in on the situated experiences, follow the connections, and tease out the relations that link local with the global.
The seminar series covers topics ranging from climate justice, activism, and decolonization, to governance, health, and digitalization.
