| Descripción: | In response to the growing number of sustainability policies being enacted at higher education institutions, this article examines the relationship between policy and pedagogy, asking how policy texts can both enable and impede the implementation of sustainability pedagogy in higher education. To explore this question, we have undertaken a case study at the University of British Columbia, analyzing two campus-wide visionary policies that call for sustainability education: Trek 2010: A Global Journey and Inspirations and Aspirations: The Sustainability Strategy. We analyze these documents to show how the goals and strategies within them have the potential to affect the teaching and learning of sustainability across the university, directly and indirectly. Our analysis is coupled with a series of suggestions on how the policy process might be better executed in the future for more pedagogically effective sustainability policy. Dans un contexte d’augmentation significative des politiques de durabilité dans les institutions d’enseignement supérieur, cet article cherche à déterminer dans quelle mesure le contenu de ces politiques favorise ou nuit à la mise en oeuvre d’une pédagogie de la durabilité en milieu universitaire. En guise d’étude de cas, nous avons entrepris l’analyse de deux politiques de durabilité à l’Université de la Colombie-Britannique : « Trek 2010 : A Global Journey » et « Inspirations and Aspirations : The Sustainability Strategy ». Nous souhaitons démontrer comment les objectifs et les stratégies stipulés dans ce type de politiques peuvent influencer, directement ou indirectement, l’enseignement et l’apprentissage de la durabilité en milieu universitaire. Nous avons également inclus une série de suggestions visant à améliorer les processus d’élaboration des politiques de durabilité afin d’en assurer, à l’avenir, un meilleur arrimage au plan pédagogique. |
