After completing a banking apprenticeship, Andreas Nebelung studied agricultural sciences and international agricultural development with a focus on agricultural and environmental sociology in Gießen and Berlin. He received his doctorate and habilitation in agricultural and environmental sociology in Giessen. He taught as a private lecturer at the JLU Giessen and the University of Marburg. Between 1999 and 2003, his empirical research focused on the sociology of waste. From this he developed a five-volume "Ecological Sociology" with Andreas Bodenstedt. A methodological-aesthetic introduction ("Zwischenräume") was followed by "Grundbegriffe und Kontexte" ("Basic Concepts and Contexts"), the "Abfall der Gesellschaft" ("Waste in Society") as well as an "Agrarian Cultural Sociology" and a volume on "Ecological Theories". Since 2005 he has been an adjunct professor at the JLU Giessen. His current work focuses on "Aesthetic Theory and Practice" and "Environmental Education". He lives with his wife and four children in Freiburg im Breisgau. |
