Research Opportunities

Faculty and students across the School of Arts and Sciences, the Jepson School of Leadership, the Robins School of Business, the School of Professional and Continuing Studies, and the School of Law are actively engaged in sustainability research.

To evaluate if research is about or related to sustainability, the Office for Sustainability looks for research that addresses key sustainability concepts such as environmental management, governance, cultural heritage, placemaking, decolonization, biodiversity, food, equity, justice, human rights, well-being, development, land use, policy, ecology, climate, energy, nature, resilience, urbanization, air quality, pollution, globalization, identity, human health, and green technologies.
