A research cluster focused on creative, critical, curatorial, communicative and political dimensions of sustainability research and challenges. Activities fall into five research areas:
- Worldviews and Ideologies
- Narrative
- Creative Expressions
- Power and Politics
- Persuasion
While these five research areas are interdependent, this sequence reflects the fact that Power, Politics, and Persuasion rely on unstated Worldviews, Ideologies, and Narratives
Lead:
- Ruth Mostern, Professor of History and World History Center Director, University of Pittsburgh
