"Sustainable technology in society"@en . . "6" . "Contents:\nThis social scientific course that deals with the development and use of environmentally sound technology in modern societies. Global industrial pollution, resource depletion or climate change are often presented as problems that need technological solutions. The social sciences study and critically address these mostly technically defined problems and solutions by using contextual models in which technology is seen as socially constructed and employed as part of the range of social practices that constitute society. Through the readings, lectures, assignments and tutorials students become acquainted with the societal dimensions of planning, designing and managing sustainable technology and technological systems such as urban infrastructures, food and housing and building in the Global North and Global South.\nLearning outcomes:\nAfter completion of this course, students are expected to be able to:\nrecognize and understand theories on social practice, technology and system innovation;\nexplain and compare social science theories and methods to analyse sustainable technology in society;\napply social science theories and methods to contemporary sustainable technology developments in various contexts (such as urban infrastructures, food, housing and building).\ndemonstrate knowledge of current socio-technical experiments in technological systems such as urban infrastructures, food, housing and building;\ndesign socio-technological niches for sustainable technology development;\nevaluate present day socio-technological experiments in terms of their contribution to technological transitions;\ndiscuss, report, present and defend a case of sustainable technology development within a chosen field;" . .

"The Environmental Sciences master's programme in Wageningen has its roots in the natural, technological and social sciences. Students will gain insight into the socio-economic causes and the characteristics of pollution and degradation of the natural environment, including the effects on human beings, the atmosphere, ecosystems and other organisms. This two-year programme is based on an interdisciplinary approach. Students learn to develop analytical tools and models, as well as technologies, socio-political arrangements and economic instruments to prevent and control the wicked environmental and sustainability issues like climate change, biodiversity loss and resource depletion."@en . .
