Higher Education Sustainability higher education sustainability environmental education sustainability curriculum two-year colleges While the need for environmental education in the U.S. has been recognized for more than 40 years, there is still no widely excepted standard for teaching it as a fundamental value in higher education. The environmental and socio-economic challenges facing society today demand more than just knowledge of the natural world, but of social and economic systems as well. Two-year schools have unique challenges and advantages when it comes to sustainability education. The case studies in this thesis explore these challenges and advantages with the intent of arriving at conclusions as to how two-year colleges are implementing sustainability education in spite of the dominant disciplinary paradigm of education. The key variables identified are constituents and institutional characteristics that either support or impede the integration of sustainability into the curriculum; the effects of external politics on sustainability education; and common barriers to making sustainability education a fundamental value in two-year institutions in the U.S. 2012-07-20 English text Ohio University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1338561707 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1338561707 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
