Professor Andreas Eberth

Professor Andreas Eberth has held the Professorship for Geography with a focus on Education for Sustainable Development at the University of Passau since March 2023. After working as a research assistant at the Institute of Science Education at Leibniz University Hannover, he served as Interim Professor of Geography Education at the Justus Liebig University in Giessen. In his capacity as chairperson of the Academic Association for Geography Education (HGD – Hochschulverband für Geographiedidaktik) he is committed to representing the interests of geography education across Germany.

"I look forward to doing my part in strengthening sustainability-driven geography research at the University of Passau. My particular interest is in finding ways to make transformation processes participatory. That way, transdisciplinary approaches become an opportunity to consider research and teaching not as two separate spheres of activity but as part of a whole where innovative didactic solutions can be implemented by way of enquiry-based learning and motivating courses can be created in the field of transformative education. Along my main lines of research, which are Education for Sustainable Development, spatial concepts/theories, Visual Geographies, racism-critical education and post-colonial perspectives, my primary regional focus is on Germany and East Africa.“
