Sustainability Education: Perspectives and Practice across Higher Education (New Book)

Edited By Paula Jones, David Selby and Stephen Sterling
How do we equip learners with the values, knowledge, skills, and motivation to help achieve economic, social and ecological well-being? How can universities make a major contribution towards a more sustainable future? Amid rising expectations on HE from professional associations, funders, policy makers, and undergraduates, and increasing interest amongst academics and senior management, a growing number of higher education institutions are taking the lead in embracing sustainability. This response does not only include greening the campus but also transforming curricula and teaching and learning.
This book explains why this is necessary and – crucially – how to do it, distilling out the curriculum contributions of a wide range of disciplinary areas to sustainability. Subject areas covered include:
geography, environmental and Earth Sciences, nursing/health, law, dance, drama, music, engineering, media and cultural studies, art and design, theology, social work, economics, languages, education, business and built environment.
