Are we educating leaders or activists? Adventures in higher education for sustainability

An account of the conception and operation of a post-graduate institute devoted to sustainability leadership. In precursors to what became the Institute for Leadership and Sustainability and in its early years of operation, founding faculty members adopted a distinct ethos and pedagogy derived in part from the intellectual and educational history of the English Lake District where IFLAS is located. In this talk, one of those founders discusses that ethos and the equally distinct approach of the centre to leadership teaching and scholarship.
