If we want to nurture students as informed, progressive agents of
change, we need to adopt non-traditional, transdisciplinary
approaches when teaching them about ethics and sustainability. This
innovative book demonstrates the best pedagogical techniques and
approaches to incorporate sustainability, corporate social
responsibility, and ethics in business and law education.
Experienced teachers discuss the use of techniques such as
Responsible Management Learning (RML) and non-linear
decision-making gameplay in education, and find that alternative
teaching and learning methods can encourage deep learning,
integrated thinking and a transformative consumer research
perspective. Forward-thinking, this book emphasises the importance
of infusing the values of the United Nation's 17 Sustainable
Development Goals into future curriculums, and discusses the
eco-centric, embedded, transdisciplinary and personally
transformative learning and teaching required to achieve these.
With illustrative case studies and real-life reflections from
students, it will prove invaluable for researchers of
sustainability, corporate social responsibility and business
ethics. Its discussions of assessment methods and student wellbeing
will also prove a vital resource for educators and policymakers
working in higher education in both the UK and internationally.
