Abstract (English): Glasgow Caledonian University London is a postgraduate satellite campus delivering a range of Masters Programmes covering fashion, luxury, marketing, finance, business and management. Glasgow Caledonian University's mission, as the University for the Common Good, is to deliver social benefit and impact. Being the first university to adopt the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) as the framework for research, the SDGs are central to both teaching and learning strategies. This paper introduces the context, aspirations and practices of a small team working to integrate sustainability into a post-graduate research module. The Introduction to Research Methods Module is delivered to all GCU London postgraduate students, necessitating a broad approach that takes account of the wide range of disciplines our students' study. Our aspiration in joining the Learning Design and ESD Bootcamp was to frame learning within the context of the SDGs and by so doing create authentic and impactful ways of exploring predominant research philosophies and practices. Our desire for our students to get head, hands and hearts-on with research meant a re-design to include more active learning opportunities. The resulting curriculum development applied the CoDesignS ESD Toolkit to disrupt the standard delivery of a postgraduate research methods module and created opportunities for students from diverse disciplines to explore local and global sustainability challenges and work together taking trans-disciplinary approaches in a series of SDG-focused Research Hackathons.

Abstract (Spanish): La Universidad Caledonian de Glasgow en Londres es un campus satélite de posgrado que ofrece una variedad de Programas de Maestría que abarcan moda, lujo, mercadeo, finanzas, negocios y gestión. La misión de la Universidad Caledonian de Glasgow, como la Universidad para el Bien Común, es generar un impacto y beneficio social. Al ser la primera universidad en adoptar los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) de las Naciones Unidas como marco para la investigación, los ODS son fundamentales tanto en las estrategias de enseñanza como de aprendizaje. Este artículo presenta el contexto, aspiraciones y prácticas de un pequeño equipo que trabaja para integrar la sostenibilidad en un módulo de investigación de posgrado. El Módulo de Introducción a los Métodos de Investigación se imparte a todos los estudiantes de posgrado de GCU Londres, lo que requiere un enfoque amplio considerando la diversidad de disciplinas estudiadas por nuestros alumnos. Nuestra aspiración al unirnos al Bootcamp de Diseño de Aprendizaje y ESD fue enmarcar el aprendizaje dentro del contexto de los ODS y, al hacerlo, generar formas auténticas e impactantes de explorar las principales filosofías y prácticas de investigación. Nuestro deseo de involucrar a nuestros estudiantes activamente en la investigación llevó a un rediseño que incluyera más oportunidades de aprendizaje activo. Durante el Bootcamp, se elaboró un currículo innovador mediante el uso de la Herramienta de Diseño Curricular CoDesignS ESD. Este enfoque transformó la metodología convencional de impartir un módulo de métodos de investigación de posgrado y brindó oportunidades a estudiantes de diferentes disciplinas para investigar desafíos de sostenibilidad a nivel local y global. Juntos, emplearon enfoques transdisciplinarios en una serie de Hackathons de Investigación centrados en los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
