Research Report: Walking the Talk? Understanding students’ expectations of sustainability in their curriculum and experience at the University of Leeds.
This report encompasses my research into sustainability and partnership in higher education and how such mechanisms can be utilised to improve sustainable practices and curriculum design between students and faculty. It involves reviewing the literature, exploration of current university methods, opinions and ideas from current students and staff, as well as conclusions and recommendations overall. There is also a section dedicated to reflection on my research, actions disseminated to complete it and beneficial skills I have gained throughout the experience.
Hi! My name is Francesca and I am in my first year at the University of Leeds studying Geography (BSc).
My research project focuses on understanding students' expectations of sustainability in their curriculum and experience at the University. The research intends to gain a well rounded perspective of sustainability practices across differing disciplines and use that knowledge to ensure that we are practicing what we preach and encouraging changes to better the curriculums towards a sustainable future.
I look forward to connecting with many like-minded individuals who are eager to make significant change and adapt the needs of humanity in this climate crisis.
