Abstract

ABSTRACT Although there have been important developments in the provision of education for sustainability, the focus remains on the transmission of knowledge, and analysis of case studies that seldom relate to the daily lives and concerns of higher education students. Scholars and educators have pointed to alternatives that engage with authentic aspects of learning, including critical thinking, socio-emotional aspects, creativity and a renewed focus on nurturing values and virtues, offering a meaningful alternative for education. In this paper, we draw upon our own experience of more than 10 years treading the path of education for sustainability in management studies and our integration of aesthetics through the use of art-based methods and beauty. We focus on three collaborative educational experiences, where we have aimed at integrating conversations following Heather Höpfl’s ideas on virtues and aesthetics in management education. We argue that knowledge alone is not enough to engage students to make durable changes, and we suggest exploring aesthetics in its different manifestations for meaningful transformations in education for sustainability.

美学和可持续发展教育

摘要尽管在提供可持续发展教育方面取得了重要进展，但重点仍然是知识的传播和案例研究的分析，这些研究很少涉及高等教育学生的日常生活和担忧。学者和教育工作者指出了涉及学习真实方面的替代方案，包括批判性思维、社会情感方面、创造力和重新关注培养价值观和美德，为教育提供了一种有意义的替代方案。在本文中，我们借鉴了自己10多年来在管理研究中走可持续发展教育道路的经验，以及我们通过使用基于艺术的方法和美来整合美学的经验。我们专注于三种合作教育体验，旨在整合Heather Höpfl关于管理教育中美德和美学的思想。我们认为，仅靠知识不足以让学生做出持久的改变，我们建议探索美学的不同表现形式，以实现可持续教育的有意义的转变。

期刊介绍： Culture and Organization was founded in 1995 as Studies in Cultures, Organizations and Societies . It represents the intersection of academic disciplines that have developed distinct qualitative, empirical and theoretical vocabularies to research organization, culture and related social phenomena. Culture and Organization features refereed articles that offer innovative insights and provoke discussion. It particularly offers papers which employ ethnographic, critical and interpretive approaches, as practised in such disciplines as organizational, communication, media and cultural studies, which go beyond description and use data to advance theoretical reflection. The Journal also presents papers which advance our conceptual understanding of organizational phenomena.
