The Sustainability in Teaching and Research (STAR) symposium, hosted at Monmouth University on June 2-3, will consist of a multidisciplinary representation of pedagogical and scholarly work anchored in the SDGs, primarily those that are geared toward equity (GOALS 1, 5, 8 and 10); environmental and climate action on land and below water (GOALS 6, 7, 13, 14 & 15); sustainability, inclusivity and social justice (GOALS 3, 4, 9, 11 & 16); global partnerships and the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development (GOAL 17); and the alignments with the other SDGs as relevant.

The SDGs also unleashed a collaborative process that involves governments, businesses, civil society and citizens in a collaborative commitment to secure a sustainable future for all nations and peoples. Educational institutions, which serve communities by creating knowledge platforms and action plans for the betterment of society, are at the heart of the success of the SDGs and our common futures. This symposium is geared toward attracting and sharing information on pedagogical and curricular innovations and research projects that incorporate and implement the SDGs. Following the symposium, selected and peer-reviewed submissions will be compiled into a peer-reviewed edited volume to be published by an academic publisher.

Symposium registration, travel, and lodging information will be forthcoming. There will be no registration fee, but registration will be required for attendance and participation. Details will be available soon.
