BELL offers a database of business school course syllabi that showcases what teaching materials professors have used to integrate environmental content into their courses. The instructors of all of the following courses agreed to allow us to post their syllabi for dissemination. The Beyond Grey Pinstripes website also offers a searchable database of coursework that professors submitted for Beyond Grey Pinstripes. The database includes syllabi for more than 300 core and elective courses, offered from 2001 to 2003, that include social and environmental content.
