In my research, I investigate how pedagogical approaches and activities to promote inner development for sustainability impact personal growth, as well as concrete methods for measuring their effectiveness. I examine the necessary conditions for successful implementation, such as the required skills of educators and the didactic design of educational programmes.
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.
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.
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.
