Humanities - Actors and Perspectives
Sustainability research in the humanities follows an actor oriented approach. This entails investigating and bringing together the perspectives of various different actors, especially the so-called “agents of change.” Researchers investigate what the environmental- and sustainability topics and problems of social, political, legal, state, commercial and individual actors are.
