A brief description of the methodology the institution followed to complete the research inventory:
The Center for Sustainability Education developed a survey instrument to collect information from faculty about their research that was distributed to all faculty by the Provost via email in November 2019. Faculty members were asked if any of their research explicitly addresses the concept of sustainability, the interdependence of ecological systems and social or economic systems, or major sustainability challenges. Examples of sustainability challenges were provided, drawn largely from the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals.
The survey also included questions asking for descriptions of connections between faculty research and sustainability challenges, with whom they engage in sustainability research (students, other Dickinson faculty, researchers from other institutions in the U.S., researchers at institutions outside the U.S., and researchers in disciplinary fields that are different from the respondents.
55 of 238 faculty members responded to the survey. All who responded reported that they engage in sustainability research.
