Designed and delivered in the School of the Environment, Geography and Geosciences (SEGG, now SELS) at the University of Portsmouth in the 2022-2023 academic year.
The Green Economy, a cross-departmental module, was open to L6 (3rd year) students of Geography, Environmental Science and Economics. Adrian’s course was praised by students for ‘linking to current news and real-world examples’ and for its ‘interactive lectures and […] slides’ one student highlighting the ‘good quality of material, lectures, etc…’ going on to state that ‘your presentations are the best I have seen in three years of university in Portsmouth.’
The course consisted of a series of ten lectures in two-hour slots with five two-hour lab-based practical sessions featuring content developed separately by Adrian’s colleague Professor Donald Houston, now at the University of Birmingham.
It had originally been planned that Donald would lead The Green Economy but his research commitments elsewhere prompted Adrian’s appointment as Course Leader, one of three occasions in which he had substituted for a professor while teaching at Portsmouth.
The References for The Green Economy, which developed in real-time as the course progressed, are shown below.
