(ii) How can PhD students be prepared for the teaching component of the job market? (e.g., teaching statement, potential syllabus, interview, etc.) (iii) If PhD students were assigned to teach non-sustainability courses (e.g., fundamentals of management, organizational behavior, accounting, etc.), how could they use such an experience to build up sustainability-related teaching capacity?
