Brighton was one of the partners in HEPS (Higher Education Partnership for
Sustainability)with Forum for the Future - see report at
http://www.forumforthefuture.org.uk/aboutus/HEPS_page1509.aspx
We also have an Environmental Action Network, courses in Sustainability in
School of Environment, and a number of other local/departmental initiatives
- eg building Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) into
Fashion/textiles curriculum.
I'm copying this to a colleague working in this area and will pass on any
more recent info on these and other attempts to encourage a more systematic
approach across the Uni

Subject: Global Perspectives
Dear LDHENers
Here at Bournemouth University we are developing an approach to dealing with
Global Perspectives and issues of sustainability in the curriculum. This is
led by a Global Perspectives Steering Group chaired at Pro Vice Chancellor
level. We also have an equality and diversity steering group chaired at
Head of School level. In my School, we also currently have funding from
the Royal Academy of Engineers which is funding a visiting professor to work
with us over 3 years to help develop sustainable development into the
curriculum.
We thought it might be useful to find out what other istitutions are doing
in this area, and if you know of any initiatives that are taking place in
your university it could be really helpful perhaps to share this
information?
Best wishes
