You are cordially invited to attend the lecture series “Habitability in Times of Global Crisis” in the winter term 2025/2026. The aim of the lecture series is to provide an exemplary insight into the diverse habitability research conducted at various universities around the world and to present the interdisciplinary approaches of different researchers, with a particular focus on the social sciences, humanities, and economics perspectives that complement and expand on the natural sciences. Our first guest speaker, Prof. Dr. Patrick Sakdapolrack, University of Vienna, will challenge climate-deterministic approaches that frame habitability and human mobility primarily through climatic thresholds. It advances a multidimensional and socially differentiated understanding of habitability, emphasizing that experiences of living in changing environments are shaped as much by social relations, translocal connections, and flows of resources and knowledge as by environmental conditions. The presentation calls for integrating social and environmental dimensions to move beyond climate determinism and to reframe debates on habitability and migration.
