Dear lecturer,
I am Hanane Abaydi, a master’s student at the University of Humanistic Studies and an external member of the THUAS Change Management Research Group/ Lectoraat Change Management.
I am conducting a narrative study on students’ and teachers’ perceptions, emotions, and support needs regarding climate injustice[1] in higher business education[2]. As a lecturer who is involved in preparing future business professionals for a role in business and society, your insights are invaluable in helping us understand whether it’s desirable to teach climate change/ climate injustice in business education and, if so, what the challenges and opportunities are in teaching climate change/ climate injustice.
We invite you – as a THUAS/HHS or RUAS/ Hogeschool Rotterdam lecturer in one of the fields of business studies – to participate in this study by sharing your thoughts, experiences, and opinions on climate injustice. Your participation involves a one-on-one interview. This will take approximately 60 minutes of your time. The interviews are in Dutch or English, online (daily on Teams) or on site (on Tuesdays and Thursdays) and will be open from 1-5-2023 to 2-6-2023. Please use this link to sign up for the interview:
All responses will be kept confidential. The results can be used for future research, policies, and educational initiatives related to climate injustice in higher business education. Please read the UvH-privacy statement to learn more about how we protect your privacy.
Please share this invitation with your fellow colleagues who may be interested in participating in this study.
Thank you!
Hanane Abaydi
