As part of the Sustainability Forum's series of events in the 2025/26 winter term, JProf. Dr. Steve Kenner will give a lecture on the overarching topic of "Sustainability policy on the defensive?!".
On 15.12.2025 at 18:00 c.t. in room 03.105 at Wittelsbacherplatz JProf. Dr. Steve Kenner (University of Education Weingarten) will give a lecture on the topic “Normativity and criticism: Political education in the context of sustainability and transformation”:
Education faces particular challenges in times of authorian temptations and multiple crises. Political education in particular, as a democratic educational mandate with constitutional status, is caught between normative principles and the need to enable young people to take a critical look at existing conditions. This lecture will explore the potential as well as the challenges for political education in the context of sustainability and transformation.
The events will be organized in interdisciplinary cooperation with the Professorship of Social Science Sustainability Research, the Division of Political Theory, the Chair of International Relations and European Studies, the Professorship of Public Law and International Economic Law and the WueLAB.
The lecture can also be credited towards the GSiK certificates (Intercultural Competence" in area C and "Sustainability and Globale Responsibility").
We look forward to your participation and a lively exchange!
