      Labour Geographies of the ‘Green’ Energy Transition. Foundations, Concepts and Analysis. (Stephan Liebscher)

      Kommentar

      The ‘green’ transition of the energy sector is a central pillar of the decarbonisation of the economy as a whole. Replacing fossil resources (coal, gas) and the power plants that run on them with renewable technologies fundamentally changes the socio-spatial relations of labour (e. g. labour processes, labour markets, gender and race relations, political regulations, union practices). The study field of labour geographies provides useful lenses and tools to critically examine the ‘green’ energy transition from the perspective of labouring classes. In this seminar, students will engage with a selection of materialist / Marxist foundations of Labour Geographies and a variety of theoretical concepts from within and beyond its classical canon (including approaches such as state regulation, social reproduction, political ecology, migrant labour, racialisation, working class solidarity, political organisation). Based on a solid understanding of labour geographies and the green energy transition, students will analyse current policies, narratives and practices on different scales (from local to inter-/national). Hence, we use the energy sector as example to understand broader debates on green capitalism and imagine emancipatory alternatives.

      Kommentar

      Land is currently being grabbed, developed, protected, and exploited in many contexts worldwide. Amidst the accelerating climate crisis and violent conflicts, this is unlikely to change. Using theoretical approaches from political ecology and material semiotics, this class examines the multiple ways in which land is valued, claimed, and contested. The course will deal with the issues of land use and land rights in multiple contexts including agriculture, settler colonialism and energy transitions. Students are introduced to current academic debates around land ownership and land rights.

      Zusätzl. Angaben / Voraussetzungen

      Students are required to attend the first meeting if they would like to confirm their place in the course. The first meeting would take place on the 15th October, 2-4 PM. 

      There will be two additional slots (full days) in December for the proposal review.

      Kommentar

      Content: Based on a case study, a project is structured and planned in detail (e.g. including a time and budget plan). Basics of team building and team communication are developed. Students will decide on the project that they want to develop through the course and work on a proposal through the course. A mock 'proposal review' will be conducted at the end of the course, where we will present and review the project.

      Qualification Goals: The students are familiar with the basics of project management. They are able to independently design, structure and apply for a project, plan the workflow and appropriately present their results in oral and written form within the framework of a presentation. They thus learn important skills for their Master's thesis, for project work and for project applications.
