This seminar focuses on a range of emotions associated with climate change. Participants will first investigate these emotions through their own lived experiences and subsequently address them in projects conducted outside the seminar setting. In-depth engagement with one’s own emotional responses, observation of personal coping strategies, and the collaborative development of constructive behavioural patterns form the basis on which students generate and implement their own project ideas. Students may define their own research foci and select the audience they wish to study. Possible project ideas range from interdisciplinary comparisons of different university-based population groups to explorations of the role of community in managing eco-anxiety, for example in shared living arrangements.

Students develop an understanding of the emotional dimension of sustainability. They learn and practice methods of research management and inter- and transdisciplinary knowledge integration, and they develop practice-oriented solution approaches. Students gain experience in project team collaboration as well as in reflecting on transdisciplinary processes at both the individual and group level.
Upon completion, students are able to design and carry out a project and to document and present the resulting academic and practice-relevant outcomes in a manner appropriate to the respective target audience.
