Katharina Gsöllpointner
Institut für Kunst und Gesellschaft, International Programs in Sustainable Developments
2021S, Projektarbeit (PA), 12.0 ECTS, 4.0 SemStd., LV-Nr. S03707

Beschreibung

Students will realise a cross-disciplinary semester project related to either

  1. their master thesis project,
  2. a freely selected topic in the context of the Grand Global Challenges/SDGs, or
  3. the programme’s semester topic (tba).

Along this cross-disciplinary project they will learn how to conceive, plan, organize, produce, and realize complex projects across and ‘between’ disciplines, societal fields, cultural understandings, and other diversities. A focus will be put on the collaboration with intra- as well as non-Angewandte players, such as university peers, NGOs, activist groups, external artists, scholars, scientists, etc. 

A relatively small part of the course is theoretical groundwork which will be covered by a reading list with relevant texts on the contexts of  inter-, cross-, and transdisciplinarity as well as topics of sustainability and art.

Details will be announced and discussed during the first class' "preliminary discussion".

With preferential treatment of GCSD students, students from all disciplines and fields who are interested in the topic and are willing to contribute a project work are cordially welcome.

Prüfungsmodalitäten

Examination and grading is based on the following parameters:

- Mandatory attendance at all classes (a successful completion requires at least 80%)

- Active participation during class, excursions, guest lectures, and field trips

- Realisation of a cross-disciplinary project, consisting of

  1. a practical-organisational implementation of the project;
  2. a written paper;
  3. a presentation of the project at end of semester.

 

Anmerkungen

The course is intended mainly to introduce GCSD master students to cross-disciplinary work. Students from other departments, faculties, or universities are cordially invited to enrol and will be given a place on the course subject to room capacities.

The course is planned optimisticly and eagerly to take place in presence. However, the COVID-19 regulations might make a (temporary) distance learning inevitable. In that case, structure and methods of teaching will be adapted accordingly.
