CALL FOR BOOK CHAPTERS 

Teaching social sustainability: A toolkit on circularity, equity, diversity and inclusion in business education 

THE PURPOSE OF THE BOOK: 

This book aims to bring social and economic spheres of sustainability into mainstream business education. This book supports implementing the United Nations' sustainable development goals (SDGs) through higher and professional education pedagogy. This book will introduce teaching principles and offers teaching methods, resources, cases, and tools that ensure integration of social and economic aspects of sustainability and, therefore, issues concerning justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion into business education.  

In the book, we hope to bring to light the concept of circular economy (CE) and focus on the social dimensions of CE. The book invites contributions on how to develop business graduates' thinking, knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed to enable them building business strategies and models that are socially sustainable, and creating organizational cultures, structures, and processes that are inclusive and equitable. We are particularly interested in receiving contributions that consider CE's social dimensions in the strategic management of international firms or within their global value chains.
