Analysing the juxtaposition of two trends in universities - corporatisation and environmental sustainability - this book explores how they are more contradictory than compatible.
Analysing the juxtaposition of two trends in universities – corporatisation and environmental sustainability – this book explores how they are more contradictory than compatible.

Hans A Baer argues that this contradiction is unavoidable because of the capitalist parameters in which they operate, including a commitment to on-going economic growth which contributes to social inequality, environmental degradation, and greenhouse gas emissions. Drawing on archival sources and Baer’s experiences in university sustainability forums, the book exposes how what universities claim to do in relation to environmental sustainability compares with their research, educational, operational and institutional activities.

Presenting a critique of and a radical alternative to the status quo, this book is suitable for academics and students of anthropology, environmental studies and higher education.

Hans A Baer is an anthropologist affiliated with the University of Melbourne. His areas of research have included Mormonism, African American religion, socio-political life in East Germany, critical health anthropology, complementary medicine in the US, UK and Australia, higher education, climate change and sustainability, and eco-socialism.
