Luisa Stuhr
Luisa Stuhr studied political science at the Free University of Berlin and ecology and environmental planning at the Technical University of Berlin with a focus on political theory, responsibility ethics, sustainability research and sociology of agriculture.
Her research interests include critical transformation studies, human-nature-technology relations, intersectionality, practice theory, and qualitative methods.
For me, connecting technology and the environment on a sociological level involves a critical and historically embedded engagement with power, resource use, and collective responsibilities.
Current research projects
- Junior Research Group "Obsoleszenz als Herausforderung für Nachhaltigkeit – Ursachen und Alternativen“ (OHA) (Obsolescence as a Challenge for Sustainability - Causes and Alternatives) Has been researching the life or useful life of electronic devices in particular since 2016. https://langlebetechnik.de
- "Care & Repair - Fürsorge für Gegenstände als neue Form der Verantwortungsübernahme und globalen Solidarität" (CaReSo) (Caring for Objects as a New Form of Responsibility and Global Solidarity). When we repair, we take care of defective everyday objects and perhaps also learn to take more precautionary care of them. Can this attitude therefore also be an expression of global solidarity? By conserving resources, extending life cycles and avoiding waste through repair, do we reduce overexploitation of nature and people in the producing countries? The project is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Justice and Consumer Protection within the framework of the program "Consumer Protection in the Service of the UN Agenda 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals".
