Sustainable development in the higher education classroom: perspectives from area studies and development studies

Date: 19 March, 2010
Location: University of Birmingham
Event type: Seminar

Sustainable development has been identified as a key priority by the UK funding councils and by the Higher Education Academy.
Sustainability literacy is an attribute to which graduates of all disciplines should aspire. To date, there has often been comparatively limited knowledge exchange between the fields of Area Studies and Development Studies, but the global and interdisciplinary nature of both subjects would suggest that both ought to be primary sites for engaging with questions of environmental sustainability and climate change.
