How do the Sustainable Development Goals shape our understanding of development, progress, and sustainability?
A collaborative effort of lecturer Shweta Srivastav and students at Windesheim Honors College. This interactive workshop dives into the language, assumptions, power structures and dominant narratives rooted in the SDGs.
Using Critical Discourse Analysis, it examines alternative and more relational perspectives on global development through collective reflection, and dialogue.
