Inter-disciplinary Sustainability Education: Insights, Momentum and Futures
14 December 2011, Higher Education Academy, York
Facilitator: Dr Alex Ryan, Associate, HEA. Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) can be a powerful force for change through inter-disciplinary teaching and learning. In recent years, various initiatives in these fields of pedagogic development have served to unearth both huge potential to be tapped, and structural boundaries to be tackled, across the HE system. This event will share findings from eight inter-disciplinary ESD projects funded in 2010 by the HE Academy. It will involve participants in: i) professional learning from examples of innovative practice, previous initiatives and supporting research on the educational interface between sustainability and inter-disciplinarity; and ii) consideration of emergent priorities and ways to bring these priorities to life in the new HE landscape.
