Field of study

Between 2016 and 2018, the Pathways Network aimed to investigate new approaches for transformations to sustainability across different disciplines, cultures and contexts. The network carried out comparative research in six countries to explore how to work with local people on social transformations in the context of environmental change. In six sites (in Argentina, Mexico, Kenya, China, the UK and India) the project convened ‘Transformation Labs’ (T-Labs) to develop innovative responses to social-ecological problems. This document draws from the experiences across the network to provide a practical guide to those considering similar approaches in their own work, while recognising that researchers, civil society organisations or social innovators will need to design a proces that is appropriate to their own context.International Science CouncilSwedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida)Transformations to Sustainability (T2S) Programm

Field of study

The 2012/2013 academic year saw continued development of the ODU Preparing Future Faculty (PFF) program, with increases in average PFF event attendance and in the number of students who completed the PFF certificate. The four regular events drew an average attendance of 46, compared to an average of 27 last year. An additional 15 PFF certificates were awarded this year, compared to an average of just over six in the previous three years. This brings the total to 44. An important factor in this increase was an agreement with the Registrar’s Office to place a notification of completion of the PFF Certificate on the student’s transcript. The committee also undertook a search for a new Steering Committee Chair for the program. After a university-wide announcement, the committee interviewed three candidates for the position. Dr. Wie Yusuf, Assistant Professor in Urban Studies and Public Administration, was selected and will take over leadership of the program in Fall 2013. In addition, a call for volunteers to serve on the Steering Committee resulted in a very positive response. Dr. Chris Osgood, Associate Dean of the College of Sciences, will join the committee, as will six graduate students representing five of the six colleges at ODU and three Norfolk State University graduate students
