Summary

  • The toolkit helps faculty embed sustainability concepts within existing media, arts, and humanities curricula. Students develop critical understanding of environmental sustainability through its intersection with their discipline, exploring themes like climate justice, ecocentrism, Indigenous knowledge, and the SDGs. Rather than treating sustainability as an add-on, it encourages integration with current course content through eco-critical perspectives.

 

Relevant SDGs

How to use

  • Suitable for enriching lectures, seminars, and assignments across the semester. The toolkit is designed to complement existing teaching materials rather than replace them. Appropriate for examining texts, films, or other media that either explicitly deal with environmental themes or can be analyzed through an ecocritical lens.

 

  • Instructors can browse the toolkit for inspiration and ready-to-use materials including reading lists, discussion quotes, key topic explainers, and activity seeds. Case studies offer practical examples of integration. Faculty should anticipate some creative work in adapting materials to their specific teaching context.

 

Teaching format tip

Lesson/Teaching Plans

Engage students as co-facilitators and content contributors rather than passive recipients. Students should prepare discussion questions and share relevant experiences that enrich planned activities. Build flexibility for organic learning moments that emerge from student interests. Use plans as frameworks for shared inquiry rather than rigid scripts.
