Students of Sustainability

Students Of Sustainability

Students of Sustainability (SoS) is an annual conference of the Australian student environment movement and predates the Australian Student Environment Network (ASEN). The first Students of Sustainability conference was held at ANU in 1991 when it was called Students, Science and Sustainability. The name changed in 1995 to Students and Sustainability and then again in 2003 to Students of Sustainability. In each case the name changes were to make the conference open to a wider range of participants.

The 2011 conference will be held in Albury, NSW at Charles Sturt University, between the 6th and the 10th of July.

Famous quotes containing the words students of and/or students:

    Students of history are horror-struck at the massacres of old; but in the shambles, men are being murdered to-day.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    We must continually remind students in the classroom that expression of different opinions and dissenting ideas affirms the intellectual process. We should forcefully explain that our role is not to teach them to think as we do but rather to teach them, by example, the importance of taking a stance that is rooted in rigorous engagement with the full range of ideas about a topic.
    bell hooks (b. 1955)
