This timely book presents undergraduate research as a powerful vehicle for engaging students in addressing the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Hensel begins with a comprehensive foundation on the SDGs and higher education's evolving role in advancing them, then examines specific goals through detailed case studies and exemplary programs that showcase cross-disciplinary student research in action. These narratives illuminate the complex challenges and innovative solutions that emerge when students engage directly with pressing global issues: from climate action to poverty reduction to health equity. Both a call to action and playbook for any faculty member involved in undergraduate research, this text also functions as an important resource for administrators and policymakers seeking to support student discovery and innovation.
“Hensel masterfully brings together the highly recognized learning pedagogy of undergraduate research with its potential for positively impacting global problems. She details how the curiosity and passion of undergraduates can facilitate finding implementable solutions in a cooperative and interdisciplinary manner. This advances their intellectual and personal growth, and benefits society.”
Amelia J Ahern-Rindell, Emerita Associate Professor of Biology, University of Portland, USA
“The SDGs represent both daunting challenges and a blueprint for ‘The Future We Want.’ In Hensel’s Undergraduate Research for a Sustainable Future, she describes numerous examples of research – done by undergraduate students – that could lead to solutions for these global goals. Reading this book leaves you inspired and hopeful about the future.”
Diane Husic, Richard ’64 and Gail Stradling Executive Director of the Center for the Environment, St. Lawrence University, USA
