Collaborative curriculum innovation as a key to sprouting transformative higher education for sustainability

The wave of neo-liberalism rolling over the public education landscape has major implications for teaching and learning, and dramatically limit the potential of education to respond to the major challenge of our time which is not to sustain continuous economic growth but to sustain life, including human life, on this planet. In this paper, by considering theoretical insights on integrating sustainability into the higher education curriculum we argue that in order to re-invigorate (public) education with a heartfelt commitment to learning for change, we need to create social learning networks in educational institutions that involve both teachers and students and that work towards educational change from the personal to the institutional level.
