Third wave sustainability in higher education:some (inter)national trends and developments

Year: 2010

Type: book

Abstract: In this chapter, we will highlight what we call examples of ‘third-wave’ sustainability in higher education from outside the UK.1 Third-wave sustainability in HErefers to a university’s attempt to re-orient teaching, learning, research anduniversity-community relationships in such a way that sustainability becomes an emergent property of its core activities. We do so by teasing out some didactic and pedagogic stepping stones for re-orienting teaching and learning towards sustainability. We will draw on exemplary initiatives from Europe, North America and Africa. First, we will provide a brief sketch of the evolution of sustainability in HE.
