Abstract

In this article, we reflect on our experiences of teaching sustainability in management education in an emergent context of increasing and pervasive eco-anxiety. Our collaborative autoethnographic enquiry stemmed from the tensions we experienced in our desire to present a realistic view of the future to students, while still maintaining their (and our) sense of hope and agency. While sustainability in management education has long acknowledged the need to engage learners’ hearts and hands as well as their heads, the challenges of effectively integrating the emotional (heart) dimension in the classroom have remained under-explored in the literature. We develop the findings of our collaborative autoethnography into a framework that provides insights for educators navigating the range of emotional responses evoked in the sustainability in management education classroom. This framework acts as a roadmap, based around five spheres of practice, that will aid sustainability in management education educators in making more conscious and deliberate choices about their teaching practice within the complex context of eco-anxiety.

在可持续发展教育中引领希望与绝望:课堂上生态焦虑的反射性路线图

在这篇文章中，我们反思了在日益增加和普遍的生态焦虑的背景下，我们在管理教育中教授可持续性的经验。我们合作的自我民族志研究源于我们的紧张关系，我们希望向学生展示一个现实的未来，同时仍然保持他们(和我们)的希望和能动性。虽然管理教育的可持续性长期以来一直承认需要让学习者的心和手以及他们的头脑参与进来，但在文献中有效地将情感(心)维度融入课堂的挑战仍然没有得到充分的探索。我们将我们的合作自我民族志的发现发展成一个框架，为教育工作者在管理教育课堂上的可持续性引发的情绪反应范围提供见解。这个框架作为一个路线图，基于五个实践领域，这将有助于管理教育工作者在生态焦虑的复杂背景下对他们的教学实践做出更有意识和深思熟虑的选择。
