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.

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.
