A brief description of the methodology the institution followed to complete the research inventory:
Pitzer College describes sustainability research as scholarship and pedagogy that engages with social, ecological and economic sustainability. In sum, we see scholarship that addresses social inequality as well as environmental challenges as both linked to sustainability research. In order to complete this section, we looked at each faculty member's profile at the college and determined whether their work fell into the broad category of social, ecological, or economic sustainability.
Pitzer College is a liberal arts institution, which prioritizes values of environmental sustainability and community engagement. Many of our faculty thus implicitly or explicitly address questions, teaching and research around sustainability.
