We're very pleased to be able to share a blog post on sustainability in learning and teaching by Glen Cousquer, programme co-ordinator and lecturer for both the MSc One Health and MVetSci Conservation Medicine. In a new post for the University's Teaching Matters blog, Glen contemplates the relationship between practising mindfulness and teaching about complex and transdisciplinary issues, like sustainability. How might “slowing down” enable a more generous understanding of these issues and expand our commitment to them? You can find a link to the blog below: Embedding systems - thinking and sustainability in transdisciplinary teaching and learning Image About Glen Cousquer Glen is a recipient of this year’s Social Responsibility and Sustainability Changemaker Awards in recognition of his work on sustainability across the University, including the embedding of deep listening and sustainability into postgraduate training courses for healthcare professionals.
