Om emnet

The elective course "Rethinking Development and Sustainable Design" is a reading course that takes a critical stance by scrutinizing both "Development" and "Sustainability", as public discourses typically seem to understand these two interrelated concepts today. The goal is to reveal and discuss what kind of developmental paradigm these discourses typically try to sustain and if there are other alternatives to be found that also could be promoted and acted on. Systems thinking might also, whenever appropriate, be used to both analyze and underpin the discussions held. The final deliverable will typically be some sort of a reader containing reviews of literature read and discussions held.

Læringsutbytte

On completing the class, the students will have:

  • improved their knowledge about "Development" and "Sustainable Design".

Praktisk organisering og arbeidsmåter

The content of the class spans from practical work with texts to lectures, discussions, student presentations and the final Reader. Students are typically expected to deliver two reviews each of two books or other relevant sources; one being from the reading list and one that has been found through own research. However, some modificationsmight be made in order to accomodate needs identified in the group.
