STEM2020 - Overt or covert: Getting sustainability into the curriculum

Embedding sustainability into curricula can take two paths: overt, where a module is created with intended learning outcomes; or covert where sustainability underpins as many topics as possible. In most STEM degree programmes there is sufficient scope for both. At Keele University we have an 'environmental and sustainable chemistry' module as well as a strong drive to include sustainability wherever possible. This session will look at some of the ways we have achieved this, and allow scope for participants to reflect on their own teaching.
