Contemporary Literature and Global Sustainability
Our Summer School take the contemporary literature and culture as method, as zone of comparison and connection, or as shared conversation. The faculty team of the course consists of 16 outstanding instructors from Zhejiang University and National University of Singapore, Harvard University, Duke University, University of Oxford, Rutgers University, Wellesley College, the University of Hong Kong, and The Chinese University of Hong Kong.
Sustainable Production and Consumption
Sustainability has moved to the top of the agenda in business as consumers, governments, and firms themselves seek to reduce environmental degradation and avoid natural resource scarcity. However, progress has been limited. A key reason for this sluggishness is that firms’ managers and leaders often view environmental objectives and more orthodox objectives (e.g., profit) as opposed and prioritise the latter over the former. This course illustrates that this assumption is increasingly misplaced as new developments in management, technology, consumer sentiment, and policy enable win-win outcomes in ever more areas. Before this background, we are planning to offer a summer school course that empowers students to understand and apply newly emerging knowledge and so drive real change later in their careers.
Inclusive Development
Inclusive development allows for sustained increases in living standards for people, protects the environment and livelihoods, creates equitable employment, reduces poverty, safeguards health care and social welfare, and empowers the vulnerable through education and skill development. This summer course will give participants a deeper understanding of the underlying issues of how to achieve inclusive development, and enhances learners’ ability to analyze, design, and evaluate policies and projects in developing societies, economies and polities.
