Affiliated Faculty
The GW Alliance for a Sustainable Future is proud to collaborate with a distinguished and diverse group of faculty whose expertise spans disciplines. These cross-disciplinary thought leaders are united by a shared commitment to advancing sustainability through research, teaching, and community engagement.
Research Communities
To strengthen collaboration across GW’s 10 schools and accelerate impactful sustainability research, the Sustainability Research Institute (SRI) organized three interdisciplinary research communities. These communities connect faculty across disciplines, foster new partnerships, and unlock innovative funding opportunities.
Serving as hubs for ideation, relationship-building, and resource-sharing, the research communities help GW researchers coalesce around shared interests and pursue interdisciplinary solutions to global sustainability challenges.
