On Thursday, 20 June 2024, the inaugural lecture of prof. dr. Tea Golob entitled “Planetary Consciousness as a Lever for Sustainable Social Morphogenesis” took place.
The lecture reconceptualised the concept of sustainable development and responsible behaviour and offered new perspectives and ideas on how to activate awareness among individuals of the interconnectedness of humanity and the planet. It introduced the concept of planetary consciousness as a lever for an inclusive social identity that transcends the divisions a) in-group/out-group and b) society/nature. It addressed social trends manifested in environmental degradation, as well as in growing political conflicts and ideological polarisation, which undermine social cohesion and solidarity.
We congratulate her on this achievement and wish her every success in her future academic career!
