  • Who Really Cares About Higher Education for Sustainable Development?
    Journal of Social Sciences 7 (1): 24-32, 2011 ISSN 1549-3652 © 2010 Science Publications Who Really Cares About Higher Education For Sustainable Development? 1Torsten Richter and 2Kim Philip Schumacher 1Department of Biology, University of Hildesheim, Marienburger Platz 22, 31141 Hildesheim, Germany 2Institute for Spatial Analysis and Planning in Areas of Intensive Agriculture (ISPA), University of Vechta, Driverstrasse 22, 49377 Vechta, Germany Abstract: Problem statement: It is agreed that integrating Higher Education for Sustainable Development (HESD) into the curricula of universities is of key importance to disseminate the idea of sustainability. Especially the curricula of teacher-training should contain elements of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) due to the crucial role of future teachers in information propagation. Approach: In order to find out about the spreading of ESD into the curricula and whether or not it is of interest to university staff and students two interlinked studies were carried out in northern Germany during the summer term 2009 using standardized questionnaires. Results: A large gap between pilot projects and the statements of politicians on the one hand and the interest of academic staff and students in sustainability issues and the dissemination of HESD and ESD into the standard curricula of universities on the other was observed. Only 20% of respondents stated to have either given or attended courses relating to sustainability. Conclusion/Recommendations: Nevertheless there is a strong approval

  • Workshop Term Evolution, Composition and Unequal Distribution of Wealth As Well As Its Causes and Consequences Both Within and Across Nations
    A Problem of Riches? The Moral and Political Economy of Wealth and Wealth Inequality BIGSSS Conference Room 7.3280 28-29 November 2019 The concentration of wealth is a key component of the recent rise in economic inequality in many Western societies. Consequently, scholars across the social sciences have begun to study the long- workshop term evolution, composition and unequal distribution of wealth as well as its causes and consequences both within and across nations. So far, however, the question of how societies react to the growing concentration of economic advantage has received little systematic attention. Is wealth inequality considered problematic by policy mak- ers and citizens – and if so, why and with which consequences? This workshop aims to shed light on the political and moral economy of wealth and wealth inequality by addressing the following questions: » Do policy-makers, citizens or social groups seek to mitigate the concentration of wealth among a small elite, and if so, how? » Which policies regulate the accumulation of wealth (e.g., taxa- tion) and how have they evolved over time? » What is the impact of economic conditions, party politics, in- terest groups or institutional arrangements on wealth-related policies? » How does the non-wealthy majority of citizens view the eco- nomic privileges of the well-to-do, and are they deemed legit- imate? » How have policy developments favouring the wealthy (such as tax cuts) been justified in public and political discourse? » Are the wealthy judged as (un)deserving? The workshop brings together scholars from sociology, political sci- ence, history and philosophy who work on topics that broadly relate to these aspects.

Hildesheim University Library – User-Oriented Change Management Dr. Ewald Brahms Director University Library University of Hildesheim Foundation Universitätsplatz 1 31141 Hildesheim Germany [email protected] Abstract Major shifts within the German university system, the increasing number of students and staff, and the restructuring of the faculties at Hildesheim University necessitated a user-oriented change management at Hildesheim University Library in order to ensure high-quality services tailored to the users’ needs. This paper focuses on the major facets of the library strategy, elements of strategic planning and dynamic steering with regard to print and digital information resources, library spaces, communication, and outreach. Aspects of governance will include securing funds, establishing new partnerships, and developing shared initiatives on as well as off campus. Change management, leadership, strategic planning and dynamic steering, university library, innovative technology, library spaces, partnerships and shared initiatives 1. Change Management A major stepping stone towards success is the ability to overcome stagnation and to whole- heartedly accept the necessity for development and change. When changes seem the better solution they have to be initiated and managed, though.
