The seminar (2 contact hours per week) addresses current questions concerning the transformation of employment and work in the context of the Twin Transformation – the simultaneous shift towards a digitalized and sustainable economy and society. Based on discussions of the current international state of research, students identify relevant research questions, which they will address in their final seminar paper. Overall, the seminar enables students to develop an analytical and critical understanding of contemporary developments in the world of work in relation to the Twin Transformation.
