Climate Change: Cultural Practices and Socio-Economic Outcomes

The University of Bologna, in collaboration with Jagiellonian University and the University of Helsinki, invites you to join us for the first edition of the Summer School "Climate Change: Cultural Practices and Socio-economic Outcomes"

The Summer School “Climate Change: Cultural Practices and Socio-Economic Outcomes” explores urgent issues connected to climate change, related cultural practices – in terms of imagery and forms of artistic expression – and their social and economic impacts. Through an interdisciplinary approach involving faculty from usually distant academic fields such as art history, food science, and economics, this Summer School offers a speculative approach aimed at understanding the dramatic environmental condition that has taken shape with the advent of the Anthropocene. In particular, the educational project emphasizes the role of cultural practices as an engine of social processes based on forms of public engagement. The Summer School is conceived as a BIP – Blended Intensive Program, led by the University of Bologna, in partnership with the University of Helsinki and Jagiellonian University in Krakow.

June 3-7, 2024

Location: Teatro DAMSLab, Piazzetta P.P. Pasolini 5/b, Bologna (Italy)
