Environmental Humanities (English)
The Environmental Humanities represent a major new research focus of the University of Augsburg. They are institutionally associated with the Environmental Science Center (Wissenschaftszentrum Umwelt). In their membership and research agendas, the major disciplines of the humanities and social sciences at the university are represented such as literature, history, philosophy, media studies, sociology but also human geography, law, and economics. The Environmental Humanities provide a platform of transdisciplinary research which brings together the manifold activities conducted at the University of Augsburg in the domain of environmental knowledge and research, emphasizing the special contribution that the humanities and social sciences can make to that transdisciplinary ecological knowledge.
