Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
A survey of faculty scholarship was conducted March 9 -29, 2011. An email was sent to 219 full time faculty, adjunct faculty and other teaching staff to request that they participate in the online survey. 107 responses were submitted, for a response rate of 49%.
Of the 107 respondents, 15 (14% of respondents) reported that sustainability is a primary or significant focus of their scholarship; 13 (12%) reported that sustainability is a minor focus; and 17 (16%) reported that sustainability is tangential but related to their scholarship. Aggregating across these categories, 48 (45%) reported that sustainability is at least tangentially related to their scholarship, while 59 (55%) reported that their scholarship is unrelated to sustainability.
The 48 who reported that sustainability is at least tangentially related to their scholarship represent 21.9% of the total number of faculty and teaching staff, including both respondents and non-respondents. The 28 who reported that sustainability is a primary, significant or minor focus of their scholarship represent 12.8% of the total. These faculty are identified in the online sustainability scholarship inventory.
Given a response rate of 49%, these figures represent a lower bound of the proportion of Dickinson faculty who are engaged in sustainability related research.
