Eco-Pedagogy
This FLC will address some of the pressing questions arising from the ongoing environmental crisis. We will explore the role of college education to raise awareness of climate change and to educate students about sustainable ways of living. Crafting an eco-pedagogy will push us to rethink our own fields and teaching styles and help us to keep them in tune with what the sustainability of our ecosystem would require. We will read some articles together, and possibly the short text Ecoliterate: How Educators Are Cultivating Emotional, Social, and Ecological Intelligence by Daniel Goleman, Lisa Bennett and Zenobia Barlow.
