This seminar offers students the unique opportunity to directly exchange ideas and knowledge with international experts and social actors in order to gain first-hand insights while studying in Germany. The project seminar will discuss the role of electromobility in the currently debated mobility transition and its chances and challenges towards more sustainable societies. The students will get input from experts of Global South and Global North on mobility transition focusing on electro mobility and impacts of raw material extraction especially in the South American countries: Chile, Bolivia, and Argentina.
The seminar will focus on answering the two following core questions:
- Under which conditions can electro-mobility improve people’s quality of life in Germany and in the rest of the world (South America in particular)?
- Can batteries be produced without socioenvironmental impacts?
