The direction of higher education is at a crossroads against a
background of mounting sustainability-related issues and
uncertainties. This book seeks to inspire positive change in higher
education by exploring the rich notion of the sustainable
university and illustrating pathways through which its potential
can be realised. Based on the experience of leading higher
education institutions in the UK, the book outlines progress in the
realisation of the concept of the 'sustainable university'
appropriate to the socioeconomic and ecological conditions facing
society and graduates.
Written by leading exponents of sustainability and sustainability
education, this book brings together examples, insight, reflection
and strategies from the experience of ten universities, widely
recognised as leaders in developing sustainability in higher
education. The book thus draws on a wealth of experience to provide
reflective critical analysis of barriers, achievements, strategies
and potential. It critically reviews the theory and practice
involved in developing the sustainable university in a systemic and
whole institutional manner, including the role of organisational
learning.
While remaining mindful of the challenges of the current climate,
"The Sustainable University" maps out new directions and lines of
research as well as offering practical advice for researchers,
students and professionals in the fields of management, leadership,
organisational change, strategy and curriculum development who wish
to take this work further.
