I am writing a piece on the role of the humanities (let’s
say philosophy, literature, religious studies, linguistics, performing arts
etc) in fashioning environmental sustainability solutions in cities around the
world. Eventually, I intend to work on
this more systematically and develop a suite of case studies, but for now it
would be useful to get some input from you on what projects come to mind. Specifically, I want to learn of projects where the humanities had or are having an impact on implementation of sustainability, even if this is an indirect impact.
I should perhaps point out that I don’t have any real
hypothesis here other than an expectation that sustainability benefits from an
interdisciplinary approach. Nor do I think that such approaches are uncommon - I merely want to assemble a roster of projects.
If you care
to comment here or email me a lhenegha at gmail I’d also like to hear on the degree
of difficulty encountered in tying to mesh these more humanistic approaches
with one emanating from the sciences.
