A brief description of the methodology the institution followed to complete the research inventory (including the types of faculty and staff included as researchers):
In order to complete the research inventory, the following methodology was used:
• Each faculty members’ own webpage (from their respective faculty’s main website) was reviewed in order to determine if A) they had engaged in any sort of research over the last three years, and B), if they had, then if that research was ‘sustainability research’. (Seven of the eight TRU faculties have faculty who are engaged in research).
• When questions were still unanswered after this review (for example, if faculty members websites did not show any research publications/conference presentations in the last three years), then meetings/phone calls/emails with faculty deans or secretaries, or department chairs took place in order to get clarification.
• Information from the TRU Office of Research and Graduate Studies also helped to answer some of these types of questions as well as other, more general types of questions about who is doing sustainability research .
