As a teacher in transdisciplinary and transition-focused courses, I guide students to collaborate with societal partners. My role is to help students prepare for engaging with complex challenges, for example, through Placemaking and systemic sustainability approaches.
The education we develop and teach focuses on transdisciplinary teaching initiatives, closing the gap between science and society. We are also conducting evaluative education research on students’ experiences and skills gained during transdisciplinary education. Our Onboarding tool is based on the need to facilitate transdisciplinary collaboration in the Bachelor’s programme in Computational Social Sciences.
I work as a knowledge and learning advisor. To achieve a more sustainable future, I believe we should not only keep our human perspective in mind but non-human perspectives as well – such as animals, plants, rivers, trees, oceans, and so on. Inviting Non-Human Stakeholders teaches students to empathise with non-human perspectives.
My work revolves around empowering students to actively contribute to shaping societal change. The Deep Listening tool focuses on compassion and empathy, which cannot be underestimated – especially in team-based environments. By teaching students to listen deeply and respectfully to each other, we lay the foundation for any meaningful relationship.
