Consumption Corridors: Living a Good Life within Sustainable Limits
explores how to enhance peoples' chances to live a good life in a
world of ecological and social limits. Rejecting familiar
recitations of problems of ecological decline and planetary
boundaries, this compact book instead offers a spirited explication
of what everyone desires: a good life. Fundamental concepts of the
good life are explained and explored, as are forces that threaten
the good life for all. The remedy, says the book's seven
international authors, lies with the concept of consumption
corridors, enabled by mechanisms of citizen engagement and
deliberative democracy. Across five concise chapters, readers are
invited into conversation about how wellbeing can be enriched by
social change that joins "needs satisfaction" with consumerist
restraint, social justice, and environmental sustainability. In
this endeavour, lower limits of consumption that ensure minimal
needs satisfaction for all are important, and enjoy ample
precedent. But upper limits to consumption, argue the authors, are
equally essential, and attainable, especially in those domains
where limits enhance rather than undermine essential freedoms. This
book will be of great interest to students and scholars in the
social sciences and humanities, and environmental and
sustainability studies, as well as to community activists and the
general public. The Open Access version of this book, available at

Es gibt einen steigenden Bedarf an beruflich-wissenschaftlicher
Bildung in Wissenschaft, Arbeitsmarkt und Gesellschaft. Dennoch
verharren viele Akteure in Bezug auf die berufliche und
wissenschaftliche Bildung im traditionellen Saulendenken, starke
gesellschaftliche Krafte halten an ihrer institutionellen Trennung
im Bildungssystem fest. Der Band will den Diskurs uber das
Verhaltnis und die Integration von beruflicher und
wissenschaftlicher Bildung reflektieren und erweitern. In einer
Reihe von Beitragen namhafter Erziehungswissenschaftler*innen aus
dem In- und Ausland werden theoretische, konzeptionelle und
praktische Gestaltungsfragen fur eine Qualifizierung diskutiert,
die die Anschlussfahigkeit von wissenschaftlicher und beruflicher
Bildung innerhalb und zwischen den Studiengangen in eine
integrative Perspektive stellt.
Dieses Open Access Buch ist ein Beitrag zur Methodik
transdisziplinarer Forschung, und zwar fur transformative wie
nicht-transformative Forschung, fur solche innerhalb wie ausserhalb
von Reallaboren. Methoden der Wissenserzeugung, Wissensintegration
und Transformation werden ausfuhrlich beschrieben und illustriert,
so dass Dritte sie umsetzen koennen. Entwickelt wurden diese
Methoden von Reallaboren in Baden-Wurttemberg. Reflexionen uber
Partizipation, die Rolle von Praxisakteuren und die Gute
partizipativer Forschung runden das Buch ab. Diese sind gewonnen
aus der forschungspraktischen Erfahrung in Reallaboren. Sie
adressieren grundlegende Fragen transdisziplinarer Forschung, die
weit uber das Forschungsformat Reallabor hinausreichen. Der
Herausgeber, die Herausgeberin Furspr. Rico Defila und Dr.
Antonietta Di Giulio leiten die Forschungsgruppe
Inter-/Transdisziplinaritat, Programm MGU (Mensch Gesellschaft
Umwelt), Universitat Basel.
