Description of the methodology used to complete the research inventory:

Methodology

The inventory is a combination between three sources: 

  1. A list of articles published by Concordia tenure-track or tenured faculty members in the 2022-2023 year based on an inclusion or relationship with the SDGs;
  2. The 2020/2021 STARS report of sustainability related faculty members;
  3. Using Explore Concordia to do a final check of sustainability related faculty members.

NOTE: The list includes faculty who work on sustainability issues, as well as those who work on SDG related issues, but the crossover and intention is not always clear. There are faculty who work on sustainability issues but don't intentionally align themselves with the SDG's, and there are faculty members whose work aligns with the SDG's, but they don't necessarily consider themselves sustainability researchers. In lieu of interviewing every faculty member listed in order to paint a comprehensive picture of how researchers identify their work in relation to sustainability and the SDG's, this list provides a thorough overview of the sustainability and sustainability adjacent research culture at Concordia.
