Ability for deepened explanation of selected topics of economic and social history including a historically grounded analysis of the present.

2015 the United Nations agreed on the "Agenda 2030", the sustainable development goals (SDGs). How did it happen, what is it about, how is the actual situation and what developments did take place in the past? How do the goals interact? And what has all this to do with us?

Input by the instructor, written PS-paper, presentations by students (possibly group work), discussions

oral (presentations, collaboration) and written (PS-paper)

Crucial prerequisite for participation are interest in the topic and openness for an interdisciplinary approach. Participation in the connected lecture is recommended (and necessary if the whole module is to be completed).

The actual proceedings of the PS will be subject to the current Covid situation during the whole semester. Hence, follow information in OLAT and check your uibk-e-mails! Generally, presence in the seminar room will only partially be necessary and only be possible with restrictions. The first unit at 13 October will anyway be "online only" and further dates of the PS will be at the scheduled times.

Students from programs other than economics, especially from sociology, political science and history, are explicitly welcome due to the interdisciplinary character of the course. In these cases, enrollment for the PS is also necessary online, later enrollment in person will not be possible in this semester.
