New book: 25 essays on sustainability by PhD students and alumni
Over the past few months, PhD students and alumni of the Agenda 2030 Graduate School have collaborated on a series of essays exploring sustainability from various perspectives. While the texts are based on their doctoral research projects, they are written in a more personal and accessible format. We are now presenting the result: Through the Kaleidoscope of Sustainability.
This anthology brings together 25 essays reflecting the diverse ways in which sustainability can be understood and practised – across disciplines, perspectives and experiences. Topics range from so called sustainable migration in EU law, to contradictions in Malmö’s green urban development as seen through a queer lens, to artistic explorations of ancestry, memory and resistance.
The book is structured around four themes:
- Past [Present] Future – how the past shapes the present and future
- Problem-Solving / Critique – urgent solutions alongside critical questioning
- Local / Global – the interplay between local realities and global dynamics
- Harmony / Conflict – sustainability as consensus, or as struggle
Together, these twenty-five voices create a kaleidoscope of ideas that highlight both the complexity and the potential of sustainability research. The anthology has been edited by Markus Gunneflo, coordinator of the Agenda 2030 Graduate School.
