Vakinhoudelijk

Many graduated historians work as policy makers within (semi)governmental organizations or the private sector. With this in mind, in this course students will acquire the basic skills necessary for policy making, with an explicit focus on the question what historians can contribute to (developing) policy regarding current societal issues. The theme of this course is sustainability, an issue future policy makers will have to deal with in one way or another. We understand sustainability to be social, economic, political, and environmental development, which fulfils the needs of the current generation without negatively affecting future generations. We will approach this topic historically and practically by first, studying how sustainability came to be on the political agenda during the past 150 years and second, gaining experience with practical skills needed for understanding and solving current sustainability issues. In this way, this course bridges the gap between theory and practice by showing how academic knowledge and skills can be applied in real life.
