Abstract We examined The University of Vermont’s new sustainability requirement for undergraduates through the lens of just sustainability. We found that sustainability courses are proposed in diverse disciplines. Regardless of discipline, most proposed courses address all three pillars of sustainability (social, ecological, and economic). Discussions of environmental justice are less widespread; only 17% of proposed courses in science, technology, and math departments addressed environmental justice. Our results provide examples for others interested in integrating sustainability across diverse disciplines and in emphasizing environmental justice. We also call attention to the fact that institutions of higher education may need explicit reminders or requirements to adequately include considerations of environmental justice in sustainability studies.

探索一所大学跨学科的可持续性

摘要 我们通过可持续性的视角研究了佛蒙特大学对本科生的新可持续性要求。我们发现可持续发展课程是在不同学科中提出的。无论学科如何,大多数提议的课程都涉及可持续性的所有三个支柱(社会、生态和经济)。环境正义的讨论不那么普遍;在科学、技术和数学系的拟议课程中,只有 17% 涉及环境正义。我们的结果为其他有兴趣在不同学科中整合可持续性和强调环境正义的人提供了例子。
