Att förstå samhällets miljöstyrning utifrån ett kritiskt konstruktivt förhållningssätt

Kursen består av tre moduler. I den första modulen presenteras teorier som är relevanta för att förstå miljöstyrning, som tillexempel teorier om social praktik och diskurs. I den andra delen utformar och genomför studenterna en forskningsstudie av ett fall som berör miljöstyrning. Datainsamling för forskningsstudien sker genom ett grupparbete och en studieresa med övernattning. Studenterna introduceras till kvalitativa forskningsmetoder för datainsamling, som tillexempel intervjuer, fokusgrupper och deltagande observation, samt till metoder för analys av kvalitativ data. I den sista modulen rapporteras forskningsprojektet i en slutrapport och en workshop med praktiker.
