As a perspective on education for sustainable development at universities, the purpose of this Chapter is to explore a reconceptualization of education for sustainable development through Stephen Sterling’s conceptions of education as an agent of change, and alternatively, as a subject of change. This study is a personal point of view that is speculative and limited to sustainability programs and curricula at Canadian universities with implications for the role of education for sustainable development within the realm of the prospective contribution of the social sciences to the study and practice of sustainability. © Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2016.
