Description
In his revolutionary 1937 essay "The Land Ethic", Aldo Leopold noted that "more education" is our go-to solution for the woes of environmental degradation. He noted then that the results of this approach are that we have more education and less soil and fewer healthy woods. Fast forward 85 years and we have even more education while at the same time facing far greater ecological challenges—including a mass extinction crisis and escalating ecological destruction over much of the planet. It's not that education is a failed solution, but that sustainability education must go well beyond content. This session includes a brief presentation of key problems and approaches to sustainability pedagogy based on both literature and personal teaching experience, followed by a roundtable discussion and sharing of additional means to help students move beyond mere content.
