This book presents sustainable development themes across
universities and introduces methodological approaches and projects
to the teaching staff. It has been prepared against this
background, to identify ways to better teach about sustainability
issues in a university context. It contains a set of papers
presented at a Symposium with the same title, held at Manchester
Metropolitan University (UK) in March 2017. The event was attended
by a number of institutions of higher education active in this
field. It involved researchers in the field of sustainable
development in the widest sense, from business and economics, to
arts and fashion, administration, environment, languages and media
studies. Sustainability is seldom systematically embedded in the
curriculum at higher education institutions. Yet, proper provisions
for curricular integration of sustainability issues as part of
teaching programmes across universities are an important element
towards curriculum greening. The aims of this book are: (i) to
provide teaching staff at universities active and/or interested in
teaching sustainable development themes with an opportunity to
document and disseminate their works (i.e. curriculum innovation,
empirical work, activities, case studies practical projects); (ii)
to promote information, ideas and experiences acquired in the
execution of teaching courses, especially successful initiatives
and good practice; (iii) to introduce methodological approaches and
projects which aim to offer a better understanding of how matters
related to sustainable development can be tackled in university
teaching. Last but not least, a further aim of this book, prepared
by the Inter-University Sustainable Development Research Programme
(IUSDRP) and the World Sustainable Development Research and
Transfer Centre (WSD-RTC), is to catalyse a debate on the need to
promote sustainable development teaching today.
