Faglig innhold

How shall we understand sustainability, a new concern for protecting the planet, within the context of the modern business and governmental organization that has operated over the past several centuries with only sparse reference to safeguarding the earth? With the contemporary environmental crisis as our backdrop, we will examine critical appraisals of options for studying new interactions between business, organisations and a sustainable environment. In this course you will learn to recognize how ecological concerns are articulated and perceived in different national and cultural contexts from an anthropological perspective.

Læringsutbytte

Upon completion of the course, you will:

  • obtain an understanding of definitions of sustainability, organisations, and environmental risk as anthropological concepts
  • obtain an understanding of practices by government and business organisations in creating an ecological footprint in different scales and historical times
  • learn how ethnography can contribute to an understanding of the cultures of work and business within an era of sustainability
  • learn to identify the strengths and weaknesses of various actions for sustainability in different organisational settings
  • acquire an ability to communicate effectively about the meanings of sustainability and organisations in your life
