About this title

Synopsis

Drawing on a diverse array of case studies from universities around the world, this comprehensive book tackles the key challenges to progressing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) within higher education institutions.

Expert authors provide an in-depth analysis of how universities in the Global North and South are engaging with and contributing to the SDGs, highlighting a wide range of approaches and experiences in different socio-economic and cultural contexts. This book examines the goal of the SDGs to expand on traditional ideas of development by emphasising broader, more inclusive and interconnected actions, as well as common difficulties faced by educational institutions attempting to achieve these aims. Chapters cover issues such as varying starting points for different countries, the involvement of civil society, the use of contextualised methods, and adaptability to changing global agendas.

Universities and the Sustainable Development Goals is an invaluable resource for university policymakers and those working in higher education institutions, as well as researchers and graduate students in fields such as gender studies, social work, sociology, anthropology and development. It will also be of interest to non–profit and third-sector organisations in international cooperation and development and government development agencies.
