Symposium on Sustainability Teaching in Higher Education – Approaches, Methods and Perspectives

Title	Symposium on Sustainability Teaching in Higher Education – Approaches, Methods and Perspectives
Location	Manchester Metropolitan University. Manchester, UK
Notes	As part of the global debate on sustainable development at universities, there is a need to identify approaches and deploy methods to foster sustainability teaching. Indeed, teaching sustainability is, along with sustainability research, a major field to which academic staff from a wide range of backgrounds and disciplines may contribute. But despite the central role played by sustainability teaching, there remains a need for specialised events focusing on it, where teaching staff may come together and interact. It is against this background that the ‘Symposium on Sustainability Teaching in Higher Education: Approaches, Methods and Perspectives’ is being organised by the Inter-University Sustainable Development Research Programme, the European School of Sustainability Science and Research, and the UK Consortium on Sustainability Research.

Notes

As part of the global debate on sustainable development at universities, there is a need to identify approaches and deploy methods to foster sustainability teaching.

Indeed, teaching sustainability is, along with sustainability research, a major field to which academic staff from a wide range of backgrounds and disciplines may contribute.

But despite the central role played by sustainability teaching, there remains a need for specialised events focusing on it, where teaching staff may come together and interact.

It is against this background that the ‘Symposium on Sustainability Teaching in Higher Education: Approaches, Methods and Perspectives’ is being organised by the Inter-University Sustainable Development Research Programme, the European School of Sustainability Science and Research, and the UK Consortium on Sustainability Research.
