Bachelor-Level Seminar "Insights from 'Sustainable Lives' Project"
15 September 2023, by Sustainable Lives
In this B.A. seminar held by Alicia Dunker, 14 students independently explored research questions on sustainable nutrition and meat consumption. Covering basics of nutritional sociology and quantitative methods, students of sociology and educational science analyzed nutrition data from 'Sustainable Lives' food project. Results highlighted insights such as gender influencing meat consumption, with males citing normality and naturalness, and no direct link between migration background and meat consumption. Additionally, income influenced vegetarian diets and low education correlated with high meat consumption. Students also discovered that those abstaining from meat and engaged on social media were more likely influenced by close contacts.
