The Post-growth Group at UiB (13.03.2024)
This post looks at the new student led group looking at the socioeconomic concepts of post-growth and degrowth and how they relate to System Dynamics. It provides insight on how students can engage more deeply in the System Dynamics methodology outside of the classroom and relate it to issues of sustainability, a major focus for many students in this program.
