Community goals

Critical Pathways aims to strengthen the involvement of Social Sciences, Law and Humanities scholars in sustainability research and foster collaborations across all faculties. Together with its members and partners, Critical Pathways aims to analyse power dynamics within a sustainability context at local, regional, and global levels. The community works towards a broadening of academic discourse on sustainability by endorsing initiatives that seek to amplify the voices of marginalised human groups, as well as giving a voice to ecosystems and the more-than-human.
