Welcome to the Social Sustainability Network and Colloquium website! As you can see we are 'under construction' but keep checking back as we get things set up.

The Social Sustainability Network operates as a living laboratory, acting as a forum in which scholars and practitioners can share, learn and collaborate.

 

Network members have access to: research development sessions; scholarly exchanges in a colloquium series co-sponsored by the Center of Professional Integrity & Accountability; and inventories of PSU social sustainability projects, related research tools and funding opportunities, and educational offerings on social sustainability.

 

The Network is funded by a Miller Foundation Grant through the PSU Center for Sustainable Processes and Practices
