Because of the difficulties involved in tracking down data for this section at an individual faculty level, we relied on data provided by the Office of Research and Economic Development (ORED) to provide a baseline of data for the number of academic departments that have FUNDED research within the past three years and the number of faculty/staff involved in those research programs. That provided our baseline for academic departments and faculty involved in research. But because funding tracked by UNCG does not capture what is sustainability or not, we relied on our own survey of websites and a poll of faculty to see who has done research in sustainability. We also relied on some data from previous such surveys/polls and double checked that faculty were still active in research relevant to sustainability. Those further surveys netted 0 further departments and 2 further faculty involved in research (all sustainability research), not significantly altering our reliance on the ORED data. Because UNCG is a school that also promotes teaching and community engagement, many departments and faculty may choose to follow those paths; therefore, we have relied on the ORED data with our survey supplement to capture the research component, but it is necessarily limited in the data it provides. Without completing one-on-one surveys of every faculty member, it is impossible to garner adequate data. If anything, the numbers here may over-represent the quantity of sustainability research at UNCG.

Dr. Aaron S. Allen, associate professor of musicology and UNCG Academic Sustainability Coordinator, participated in a parallel plenary entitled "Sustainability and Sound" at the AASHE 2013 national meeting in Nashville. He also ran a post-conference workshop on ecomusicology at AASHE 2014 meeting in Portland.

Dr. Karen Kilcup, professor of English, published the book "Fallen Forests: Emotion, Embodiment, and Ethics in American Women’s Environmental Writing, 1781-1924," which considers how these writers anticipated contemporary environmental concerns, ranging from resource depletion and resource wars to voluntary simplicity and environmental justice.

Dr. Catherine Matthews, professor of education, collaborated with biology lecturer Ms. Ann Somers on the HERP project (Herpetology Education in Rural Places), a multi-million dollar NSF grant.

Dr. William Markham, professor of sociology and director of the UNCG Environmental Studies Program, published the book "Environmental Organizations in Modern Germany: Hardy Survivors in the Twentieth Century and Beyond."
