Klappentext zu „The Sustainable Development Goals in Higher Education “
This book explores the role universities have to play in fulfilling the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). At the heart of "sustainable development" is the legacy of unsustainable development with its roots in modernity and colonialism. Critical engagement with the SDGs involves recognising these roots are shared by universities and the reciprocal need for maintenance, repair and regeneration. Universities are not just enablers of change, but also important targets of change. By focusing on the role of education about, for and through the SDGs, the authors seek to advance critical engagement with higher education that is both progressive and meaningful. We are all responsible for bearing witness to our age. This book will appeal to all those who hope that more sustainable future worlds are still possible.Inhaltsverzeichnis zu „The Sustainable Development Goals in Higher Education “
