This Handbook approaches sustainable development in higher
education from an integrated perspective, addressing the dearth of
publications on the subject. It offers a unique overview of what
universities around the world are doing to implement sustainable
development (i.e. via curriculum innovation, research, activities,
or practical projects) and how their efforts relate to education
for sustainable development at the university level. The Handbook
gathers a wealth of information, ideas, best practices and lessons
learned in the context of executing concrete projects, and assesses
methodological approaches to integrating the topic of sustainable
development in university curricula. Lastly, it documents and
disseminates the veritable treasure trove of practical experience
currently available on sustainability in higher education.

To be a storyteller is an incredible position from which to
influence hearts and minds, and each one of us has the capacity to
utilise storytelling for a sustainable future. This book offers
unique and powerful insights into how stories and storytelling can
be utilised within higher education to support sustainability
literacy. Stories can shape our perspective of the world around us
and how we interact with it, and this is where storytelling becomes
a useful tool for facilitating understanding of sustainability
concepts which tend to be complex and multifaceted. The craft of
storytelling is as old as time and has influenced human experience
throughout the ages. The conscious use of storytelling in higher
education is likewise not new, although less prevalent in certain
academic disciplines; what this book offers is the opportunity to
delve into the concept of storytelling as an educational tool
regardless of and beyond the boundaries of subject area. Written by
academics and storytellers, the book is based on the authors' own
experiences of using stories within teaching, from a story of "the
Ecology of Law" to the exploration of sustainability in accounting
and finance via contemporary cinema. Practical advice in each
chapter ensures that ideas may be put into practice with ease. In
addition to examples from the classroom, the book also explores
wider uses of storytelling for communication and sense-making and
ways of assessing student storytelling work. It also offers
fascinating research insights, for example in addressing the
question of whether positive utopian stories relating to climate
change will have a stronger impact on changing the behaviour of
readers than will dystopian stories. Everyone working as an
educator should fi nd some inspiration here for their own practice;
on using storytelling and stories to co-design positive futures
together with our students.
