Sustainability in Action

<p>This book examines the United Nation’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals in practice and ideation. It explores how sustainability is exercised in a variety of public, political and cultural contexts, ranging from preserving indigenous voices and oral traditions; the appropriation of sustainability narratives by multinationals and large corporations; the democratising impact of streaming services on short-form film and video content; sustainability practices in the creative industries; the essential formation and preservation of communities through the arts; and threats to achieving sustainability in response to the UK’s current higher education crisis. The book employs a multidisciplinary approach to sustainability that sits across cultural studies, politics, sociology and media, with contributing authors from New Zealand, Malysia, Indonesia, Denmark, and the UK.</p>
