Handbook of Theory and Practice of Sustainable Development in Higher Education : Volume 1

"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."--Publisher's description Front Matter....Pages i-x Front Matter....Pages 1-1 Inclusion of Sustainability in University Classrooms Through Methodology....Pages 3-19 Controlling Risks Through Flexibility and Urban Integration: The Regeneration of Otaniemi Campus in Finland....Pages 21-35 Sustainability Education: Towards Total Sustainability Management Teaching....Pages 37-51 Fostering the Professionalization of Business Students Through Education for Sustainable Development at University....Pages 53-68 Fauna Protection in a Sustainable University Campus: Bird-Window Collision Mitigation Strategies at Temple University....Pages 69-82 Multimedia Exhibition Teaches Undergraduate Students About Sustainable Fashion....Pages 83-101 Campus Infrastructure and Sustainable Resource Management Practices: Mapping Campus DNA for Human Resiliency....Pages 103-118 Developing Sustainability Competence for Future Professional Accountants: The Integrative Role of an Undergraduate Program....Pages 119-136 Linking Space and Nature Syntaxes: The Influence of a Natural View Through Observed Behaviour at Arcosanti, Arizona, USA....Pages 137-158 The Effects of Higher Education in Economics, Law and Political Science on Perceptions of Responsibility and Sustainability....Pages 159-170 Student Participation and Engagement in Sustainable Human Development: A Value Education Approach....Pages 171-186 Food (In)Security Within a University Community: The Experiences of Students, Staff and Faculty at a Sustainable Institution....Pages 187-199 Student Leadership in Sustainable Development in a Private University in the UAE—A Case Study....Pages 201-216 Creating Change for Sustainability in Universities in Australia, One System at a Time....Pages 217-230 Financing the Transition for a Sustainable Campus: Experiences from Brazil....Pages 231-241 Front Matter....Pages 243-243 Improving Building Energy Performance in Universities: The Case Study of the University of Cambridge....Pages 245-266 The Sustainability Journey of USM: Solution Oriented Campus Ecosphere for Vitalising Higher Education Action on GAP....Pages 267-279 Weaving the Filigree: Paradoxes, Opposites and Diversity for Participatory, Emergent Arts and Design Curricula on Sustainable Development....Pages 281-296 Crafting Pedagogical Pathways that Disrupt and Transform Anthropocentric Mindsets of Higher Education Students....Pages 297-312 How University Sustainable Development Research Can Impact the Local Community: The Links Between ESD and Dietary Choices....Pages 313-331 Front Matter....Pages 243-243 The Development and Evaluation of an Environmental Awareness Course Addressed to Student Tourist Guides in the Maltese Islands....Pages 333-347 Environmental Education in Higher Education Institutions: An Analysis of the Strategies of the University of Southern Santa Catarina to Promote Environmental Education....Pages 349-364 Building the Platform: Supporting a Sustainability Agenda and University-Community Relationships....Pages 365-380 Towards a Smart Campus: Building-User Learning Interaction for Energy Efficiency, the Lisbon Case Study....Pages 381-398 Addressing Food Waste Through University and Community Partnerships....Pages 399-413 Does “Science” Matter to Sustainability in Higher Education?
