Abstract | There is a need to differentiate ecology from ecologism in universities. Ecology is the study of ecosystems. Only
marginally was the traditional ecology concerned about sustainability. By contrast, the later comer ecologism
consistently juxtaposes sustainability discourse, which adds a clear difference: it implies a movement for action and with
action. We also note a general lack of theoretical engagement between the discourses of ecologism and sustainability
and contrast this gap with the sustainability-related practices in universities. In order to create a practical understanding,
we go on to define the specifics of ecologism and sustainability in higher education through illustrating the sustainable
practices found at the Duke University (Duke) and the University of Hong Kong (HKU). While explaining the
interconnected nature of ecologism and sustainability, we argue that ecological discourses are comparable between
these two universities with different cultural and geopolitical backgrounds. The variation is in the sustainability practices
on campuses, specifically in degrees of complexity, namely linear, complicated, and complex. |
