Infusing Sustainability into Higher Education

Congratulations to Frida Besong, who on Friday last defended here thesis tilted "Infusing Sustainability in Higher Education in Ireland, guided by the Green Curriculum Model and the Dispositions, Abilities and Behaviours (DAB) Framework. This work, supervised by Associate Professor Charlotte Holland and Associate Professor Carmel Mulcahy, explored how sustainability might be integrated/infused in higher education, with a particular focus on identifying the key sustainability themes, principles, pedagogic practices and specific competencies that should underpin a model for infusing sustainability into higher education, while also investigating how the effectiveness or otherwise or particular competences (developed with a sustainability - infusion curriculum process), might be evaluated at a meta-level.
