EDU613 : Foundations of Environmental Education

This course explores the philosophical, historical, and cultural foundations of environmental education as well as the professional responsibilities of the environmental educator, and situates this knowledge in a local, place-based Praxis. In doing so, it calls us to think deeply and relationally about issues of ecoliteracy, justice, diversity, democracy, class, race, globalization, and indigenous and sustainable communities. We will explore methodologies, resources, and current issues and trends for environmental educators in formal or informal settings.
