About this program
Explore the relationship between citizenship, cultural diversity, and social sustainability.
This Master's programme in Cultural Anthropology: Sustainable Citizenship focuses on the triangle of People, Planet, and Profit, pointing out that sustainability does not just have an environmental meaning, but also an economic and sociocultural one. As such, the programme seeks to understand how citizens worldwide are negotiating and restructuring their living environments to be safe and sustainable at the same time. It incorporates both local and global understandings of the concept of sustainability and, in doing so, scrutinizes various expressions of active citizenship in building sustainability around the world.
