Jens Badura is a philosopher and co-director of the Graduate School “Cultures of the Alps” and curator of the “Alpine Futures Literacy” working area at the Uri Institute Cultures of the Alps at the University of Lucerne. He is also Head of the BA “Transformation & Sustainability” at the Department of Design Film Art at the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts and Associated Researcher at the Zurich University of the Arts.
He deals with the cultures of the Alps primarily from an aesthetic and cultural-philosophical perspective, often working in the field of tension between the sciences and the arts. He is also concerned with the question of how artistic ways of thinking and procedures can be fruitfully integrated into processes of transdisciplinary research and what potential this offers for the development of a new “Alpine Futures Literacy”.
