When learning in and from the field, students become psychologically and physically immersed with the objects of their inquiry and navigate the dynamics of doing so. For our purposes, a broader conceptualization of fieldwork includes various forms of learning that get the students out of the classroom and into the natural environment, as well as the manager’s natural environment, or bring that environment into the classroom. Fieldwork can be leveraged to holistically develop a sustainability mindset amongst future managers, giving students exposure to innovative approaches to sustainability within communities and organizations. To promote fieldwork in sustainability courses, this symposium aims to share insights on how and when faculty can integrate fieldwork into their sustainability courses to enable students to develop a sustainability mindset. For this purpose, past ONE Distinguished Educator Award and ONE Early Career Teaching Award winners will provide insights from their teaching strategies, especially those that get students into the field, bring the field into the classroom, expose students to sustainability innovations in or from real-world contexts, or incorporate service-based learning or community immersion.
