42
When Douglas Adams died in 2001, he left behind 60 boxes full of notebooks, letters, scripts, jokes, speeches and even poems.

Contemplative Approaches to Sustainability in Higher Education
How do we foster in college students the cognitive complexity, ethical development, and personal resolve that are required for living in this "sustainability century"?

Contributors in this book present both a rationale as well as a theoretical framework for incorporating reflective and contemplative pedagogies to help students pause, deepen their awareness, think more carefully, and work with complexity in sustainability-focused courses. Also offering a variety of relevant, timely resources for faculty to use in their classrooms, Contemplative Approaches to Sustainability in Higher Education serves as a key asset to the efforts of educators to enhance students’ capacities for long-term engagement and resilience in a future where sustainability is vital.

School is for Me
"The Fair Go Project (FGP) is research into student engagement being conducted by a team of researchers from the University of Western Sydney (School of Education and Early Childhood Studies) and the Priority Schools Programs, formerly PSFP (NSW Department of Education and Training).
