Welcome to Critical Perspectives on Sustainable Development in Sweden 2011!

SDSWE — Cecilia @ 17:59

The course coordinators, Cecilia Esbjörnsson and Jesse Anderson, are working on the last pieces in the preparation phase and are looking forward to see you all at the course this fall.

Throughout the duration of this course we will explore and analyze the environmental, social and economic perspectives in Sweden that contribute to sustainable development. We will further delve into the norms that have driven the sustainable development movement in Sweden and the perceptions that have placed Sweden as a forerunner in this field. Case studies will be utilized to help build the fundamental frameworks for critical analysis, bringing together theoretical aspects with methodologies and practices.

Registration will take place the 25th of August in Cemus library. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us at sdswe@csduppsala.uu.se.

All the best,
Cecilia & Jesse
