In this luminous work, Amos, Carvalho, Cesa-Bianchi and Holder chart a path that winds with elegance and equanimity through the underbrush of sustainability in higher education. The authors display remarkable clarity, anchored in personal experience, in framing the challenges that sustainability raises for universities – both in terms of where to go and of how to get there. With topics ranging from student accommodation to the place of animals, Living Sustainability in Higher Education coheres around a vision of the university as a laboratory, where the ‘liminal animals’ that live on campus, both literal and figurative, can keep exploring what it means to dwell together with justice and dignity… Even when the answer isn’t straightforward.
