EDUC-5210: Future of Environmental Learning

This course presents students with an opportunity to review, assess, and envision the most significant trends that impact environmental learning, emphasizing the challenges of perceiving global environmental change, covering ecological, existential, and political dimensions, paying special attention to the conceptual approaches that deepen awareness and lead to visionary thinking. Participants survey important academic trends in environmental studies, culminating in an exploratory taxonomy of ideas and themes and reflect on the four interconnected challenges intrinsic to environmental learning-sustainability and natural resource extraction, cosmopolitanism and tribalism, social justice and oligarchic concentration, community democracy and plutocracy. Students discuss engaging, emergent metaphors for environmental learning-biospheric perception, cosmopolitan bioregionalism, ecological diaspora, constructive connectivity, ecological imagination, improvisational excellence, and perceptual reciprocity.
