Advanced Seminar in Media Technology with Danielle Wilde, professor of Design for Sustainability at Umeå Institute of Design Umeå University and the University of Southern Denmark.

People typically experience the world at the scale of the body, the family, the community and the city. However, life as we know it unfolds at radically different, interdependent scales, ranging from the microscopic to the planetary. In this seminar Wilde will present a number of research projects and ideas to unpack how she thinks through and works with others to link critical planetary-scale sustainability advice and diverse (Western and non-Western) knowledge systems with meaningful situated action.

Danielle Wilde is professor in Design for Sustainability at Umeå Institute of Design, Umeå University, in the Swedish Arctic. She also holds a position in the Department of Sociology, Environmental and Business Economics at SDU in Denmark, in the MERE research group. Her research across these locations concerns critical, collaborative, embodied engagement with the challenges of sustainability transition. Her approach is at once systemic and situated, radically transdisciplinary, and leverages food as a force for transformative change-making and multi-species concern.
