🚨Delighted to see my latest paper (& first major scholarship paper) published this week in @jghe @tandfonline exploring HE climate hypocrisy, fieldtrip internationalisation & the need for progressive value-based frameworks @YorkEnvironment @UniOfYork 👇.

Really excited to be in London today to give a talk on sustainability in the classics curriculum as part of a sustainability enrichment day in partnership with @Classical_Assoc & @britishmuseum for the national Classics ITT cohort @YorkEnvironment #sustaianbilityeducation

It concludes by noting that whilst this approach will help strengthen HE's decarbonisation & sustainability agenda, wider discussion of international student mobility (flights) & the signif. carbon impact is critical to fully realise these ambitions #HigherEducation #HigherEd.

This post is partly based on a recent article, free to read below, exploring the need for sustainable and inclusive fieldtrips within HE 👇

Really delighted to see my first @HEPI_news post published reflecting on the recent expansion of long-haul destination UG student fieldtrips & the steps that staff and HE can play in addressing this 👇@YorkEnvironment #sustainability #fieldtrips.

RT @YorkEnvironment: ICYMI - earlier this month @AGonzalez05 had his research exploring the internationalisation of residential #fieldtrips….

Huge thanks to @ChrisW_SEI for his support in contributing to an earlier piece of scholarship on this topic which was published in the @UniOfYork Forum mazagine in 2022. #sustainability #HigherEducation #fieldtrips #EDI #ClimateCrisis.

It will finish by outlining the creation of a “sustainable & inclusive” fieldtrip framework for @YorkEnvironment. This becomes an important way to reduce environmental impacts, strengthen accessibility & social justice, thereby ensuring that Global North HE leads by example.

Results show that the @YorkEnvironment fieldtrips over a five-year period make up almost 20% of the total air travel emissions of a major international environmental think tank @SEIresearch. Change is needed that also encapsulates justice & EDI agendas.

Using @YorkEnvironment as a case study, it documents the significant carbon emissions & necessary offsetting costs associated with residential undergraduate fieldtrips, particularly those overseas.

It then explores one facet that typifies these issues: the recent internationalisation of residential UG fieldtrips within geography, earth, & environmental science programmes.

The paper starts by acknowledging the important role that HE has in tackling global challenges before outlining several structural challenges that underpin & drive global North HE (climate hypocrisy, patriarchal white privilege & the "international imperative").

It was great to see the students really get stuck into their roles representing the different actors and undertake in some really passionate evidence-based discussions. Huge thanks to all staff and GTAs in making it such a success. Role on @YorkEnvironment COP 25!

The COP event, designed by Praxis Research, saw students role playing as various actors (countries, special interest groups e.g. UNHCR & corporations e.g. Shell) to build alliances in readiness for voting on 7 resolutions including emission reduction targets & farming practices.

Last week @DrKAParkhill and I ran a mock Conference of the Parties (COP) negotiation event to welcome all new Year 1 undergraduate students to the @YorkEnvironment @UniOfYork!
