Nancy H. Hensel: Undergraduate Research for a Sustainable Future, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

This timely book presents undergraduate research as a powerful vehicle for engaging students in addressing the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Hensel begins with a comprehensive foundation on the SDGs and higher education's evolving role in advancing them and then examines specific goals through detailed case studies and exemplary programs that showcase cross-disciplinary student research in action. These narratives illuminate the complex challenges and innovative solutions that emerge when students engage directly with pressing global issues: from climate action to poverty reduction to health equity. Both a call to action and a playbook for any faculty member involved in undergraduate research, this text also functions as an important resource for administrators and policymakers seeking to support student discovery and innovation.
