[su_box title=”Annex 1: Directory of courses”]

Updated August 6 2018, based on the Appendix provided in the following article: Sahakian, Marlyne, and Gill Seyfang. 2018. “A sustainable consumption teaching review: From building competencies to transformative learning.” Journal of Cleaner Production 198: 231-41. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jclepro.2018.06.238

[/su_box]

This list focuses specifically on university-level (both undergraduate and post-graduate) courses/modules devoted in whole or in part to the field of sustainable consumption. The attempt is to identify relevant courses/modules with explicit consideration of sustainable consumption as well as those that engage with sustainability, the environment, economics and social change, from a consumption, consumer, household or citizen perspective. We are also happy to update a list of courses presented in the appendix to the Journal of Cleaner Production paper (2018, A sustainable consumption teaching review: From building competencies to transformative learning, M. Sahakian and G. Seyfang).

If you would like to add your course to this list, please contact Marlyne Sahakian.
