Consequently many universities are investigating whole-of-university approaches to sustainability. Whole-of-university approaches suggest a shared vision of and commitment to sustainability and sustainable practices. However, sustainability is a complex, multi-faceted and contested concept and universities comprise communities of diverse perspectives and conflicting values. This paper analyses semi-structured interviews with staff at an Australian regional university in order ascertain their particular / preferred perceptions of sustainability. | Publication Type: | Conference Publication | Conference Details: | 1st Annual PSU Phuket International Conference: Multidisciplinary Studies on Sustainable Development, Phuket, Thailand, 10th - 12th January, 2013 | Source of Publication: | Proceedings of the 1st Annual PSU Phuket International Conference, Oral Section(International Studies (Social Sciences & Humanities)), p. 1-10 | Publisher: | Prince of Songkla University | Place of Publication: | Phuket, Thailand | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 130103 Higher Education | Fields of Research (FoR) 2020: | 390303 Higher education | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2008: | 930499 School/Institution not elsewhere classified | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2020: | 160299 Schools and learning environments not elsewhere classified | Peer Reviewed: | Yes | HERDC Category Description: | E1 Refereed Scholarly Conference Publication | Publisher/associated links: | http://www.conference.phuket.psu.ac.th/conference2012/proceedings/o_fis.html http://www.conference.phuket.psu.ac.th/conference2012/proceedings/pdf/o_FIS02%20Joy%20Hardy.pdf |
