Stepping outside a comfort zone: transdisciplinary innovation in sustainability education

A chapter from the HEA's publication Enhancing education for sustainable development in Business and Management Hospitality Leisure Marketing Tourism.

Through transdisciplinary collaboration across US and UK institutions of higher education a win-win role play developed for negotiation and conflict resolution has been innovatively adapted for use in the context of 'sustainability in business'. The adaptation process included theoretical and practical inputs from business law natural and social science and fine arts perspectives. This in itself is a demonstration of the win-win collaboration required to address systemic issues such as sustainability in the academic environment where highly specialised knowledge silos can discourage communication.
