Sarah Hamilton joined the Department of History faculty in 2014 and has amassed an impressive list of awards. In the past year, she was named Auburn Plainsman’s Favorite Professor, Honors College Professor of the Year and received the Student Government Association, or SGA, Award for Outstanding Faculty. She was on the ballot to give Auburn’s esteemed “Final Lecture” and received international and regional awards for her first book, “Cultivating Nature: The Conservation of a Valencian Working Landscape.” Hamilton teaches undergraduate and graduate courses on environmental and world history which integrate active pedagogical methods, especially the extended role-playing games of the Reacting to the Past program. 

Hamilton has a new accolade to add to her impressive list of accomplishments. She has been selected to be the director of the Academic Sustainability Program at Auburn. 

“I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to promote, support and enhance the work being done at Auburn toward a more livable world for all of us–humans and non-humans–far into the future,” Hamilton said.
