ESE-5370: Place-Based Environmental Education

In this course we will study the relationships between placed-based environmental education, sense of place, and community. We will consider a variety of questions as we explore the value and challenges of place-based environmental education, using Keene and its neighborhoods as our place of study. For example: What do the phrases “place-based environmental education” and “sense of place” mean? What is the role of place in learning: Its histories, present-day realities, and futures? How can we, as environmental educators, work together with our students in developing sense of place? How do we develop sense of place in the face of globalization and homogenization of cultures? We will learn through individual self-reflection, collaboration with classmates, as well as experiencing a range of place-based learning experiences in the Keene community.
