Higher Education for Sustainability cover

Student and employer demand, high-level institutional commitment, and faculty interest are inspiring the integration of sustainability oriented themes into higher education curricula and research agendas. Moving toward sustainability calls for shifts in practice such as interdisciplinary collaboration and partnerships for engaged learning. This timely edited collection provides a glimpse at the ways colleges and universities have integrated sustainability across the curriculum. The research-based chapters provide empirical studies of both traditional and innovative degree programs as well as case studies from professional schools. Chapter authors illustrate some of the inclusive and deliberative community and political processes that can lead to sustainable learning outcomes in higher education. Exploring the range of approaches campuses are making to successfully integrate sustainability into the curricula, this much-needed resource provides inspiration, guidance, and instruction for others seeking to take education for sustainability to the next level.

"This book can be used in undergraduate courses or as a subject on higher education
for sustainability at the postgraduate level. It can be used as a course manual for career
and vocational training courses and career training classes. Focusing such a relevant
subject, this book can serve as a useful reference for a diversity of professionals, with a
special emphasis to academics, researchers, politicians, administrators, managers, and
engineers that are working in the field of higher education for sustainability."
