英文摘要PurposeThe purpose of this study is to examine the perceptions and attitudes of arts and design faculty on teaching sustainability in higher education institutions in the USA.Design/methodology/approachArts and design faculty from nine universities in the USA were approached for the study, using both closed and open-ended questions in a survey instrument. Descriptive statistics and content analysis were used to analyze the collected data.FindingsResults related to arts and design faculty's perception of sustainability showed high confidence in teaching sustainability but lower confidence in inspiring students to take action on sustainability issues. Faculty also perceived time, resources, knowledge and support as barriers to the integration of the topic into the curriculum. This study revealed that the faculty's attitude toward sustainability demonstrated their recognition that sustainability should be at the core of their discipline and that they support its integration into courses.Research limitations/implicationsThis study is limited to arts and design faculty in higher education institutions in the USA. The results may not be generalizable to other fields or locations. In addition, the use of self-reported data may be subject to bias.Practical implicationsThe findings of this study can inform the development of curriculum and pedagogy in arts and design sustainability education. It can also guide institutions in addressing the challenges and barriers related to incorporating sustainability into their curriculum.Social implicationsPrioritizing sustainability education is crucial in addressing global climate change and related issues. Art and design educators' perspectives on teaching sustainability can contribute to constructing a sustainable future for everyone.Originality/valueThis study provides insight into the perception and attitude of sustainability among arts and design faculty in higher education in the USA and highlights areas for improvement such as training and resources to better integrate sustainability into the curriculum.
