Sustainability Transitions - Putting New Theories to Work on Food and Agriculture Challenges
Vortrag von Prof. Clare Hinrichs, Ph.D. (Pennsylvania State University/US)
Dienstag, 28. April 2015 │ 19:00 | Universität Innsbruck
SoWi – Universitätsstrasse 15 Fakultätssitzungssaal
Ost │3. Stock │Raum-Nr. 36
In ihrem Vortrag beschäftigt sie sich mit der Frage welchen Beitrag die sogenannte ‚sustainability transition theory‘ im Zusammenhang mit dem beobachtbaren sozialen Wandel am Landwirtschafts- und Lebensmittelsektors für die Forschung und Praxis leisten kann. Diesbezüglich erläutert der Vortrag, welche neuen Mittel und Werkzeuge die Theorie anbietet, um die gegenwärtig so vielfältigen und unterschiedlichen Wege und Formen des Wandels und der Transformation verstehbar zu machen. Dabei werden Stärken und Schwächen der ‚sustainability transition theory‘ anhand von Beispielen nachhaltiger Initiativen in Nordamerika illustriert.
Claire Hinrichs ist Professorin für Agrar- und Regionalsoziologie an der Pennsylvania State University in den USA. In einer Reihe von internationalen Forschungsprojekten befasste sie sich mit Dynamiken nachhaltiger Landwirtschafts- und Lebensmittelsysteme.
Im Rahmen der “International Agri-food Lectures”, organisret von Univ.-Prof. Dr. Markus Schermer & Mag. Christoph Furtschegger | Department of Sociology

Teaching languages can be English, German or Italian. The teaching will take place in Bozen-Bolzano during the winter semester 2015/16 (Oct-Jan; 30h lectures/seminar/workshops + 18h “tutoring”).
The official job offering is published here. Deadline: 14.05.2015. If you have any questions or need help to understand the bureaucratic procedure, please don’t hesitate to get in contact with us.
Modelling and digital Fabrication
The course Modeling and digital Fabrication teaches methods and instruments of 3D modelling of Rapid Prototyping and of Digital Fabrication. The experimental and kreative application of these technologies and methods in design project is important.
Transdisciplinary design projects play the central role the study model of the MA. Students are developing them with great autonomy related to the yearly theme (which could be “Food”, “Demographic Change”, “Tourism” or other broad topics). A part of the teaching in Modeling and digital Fabrication consists in the discussion of the ongoing projects from the perspective of the field. Another part are seminars and lectures.
Modelling und Digitale Fabrikation
Im Fach „Modelling und Digitale Fabrikation“ werden Methoden und Techniken des 3D-Modelling, des Rapid Prototyping und der Digitalen Fabrikation vermittelt. Zentral dabei ist die experimentelle und kreative Anwendung dieser Techniken und Methoden in Designprojekten.
Im Mittelpunkt der Lehre im Master steht die Entwicklung von transdiziplinären Designprojekten, an denen die Studierenden arbeiten und dabei jeweils auf das übergeordnete und offen gehaltene Jahresthema Bezug nehmen (beispielsweise “Essen”, “Tourismus”, “Demografischer Wandel”, etc.). Ein Teil der Lehre im Fach “Modelling und Digitale Fabrikation” besteht aus der Diskussion der laufenden Projektarbeiten aus Sicht des Faches, ein anderer Teil aus Seminaren und Vorlesungen.
Design e fabbricazione digitale
l’insegnamento “Design e fabbricazione digitale” trasmette metodi e tecniche della modellazione 3D, del rapid-prototyping e della digital fabrication. È di grande importanza l’applicazione sperimentale e creativa di queste tecniche e metodi nei progetti di design.
Fulcro dell’insegnamento nella laurea magistrale è lo sviluppo di progetti di design transdisciplinari, ai quali lavorano gli studenti tenendo in considerazione il tema annuale preposto e di ampio respiro (ad esempio “mangiare”, “turismo”, “cambiamento demografico”). Una parte dell’insegnamento della materia “Moderazione e partecipazione” è formata dalla discussione dei lavori di progetto correnti dal punto di vista della materia, un’altra parte da seminari e lezioni.
