Abstract

Natural History filmmaking has a long history but the generic boundaries between it and environmental and conservation filmmaking are blurred. Nature, environment and animal imagery has been a mainstay of television, campaigning organisations and conservation bodies from Greenpeace to the Sierra Club, with vibrant images being used effectively on posters, leaflets and postcards, and in coffee table books, media releases, short films and viral emails to educate and inform the general public. However, critics suggest that wildlife film and photography frequently convey a false image of the state of the world's flora and fauna. The environmental educator David Orr once remarked that all education is environmental education, and it is possible to see all image-based communication in the same way.

Abstract

Going beyond "green" schooling programs that aim only to shape behavior, Sean Blenkinsop and Estella Kuchta advance a pedagogical approach that seeks to instills eco-conscious and socially just change at the cultural level. Ecologizing education, as this approach is called, involves identifying and working to overcome anti-ecological features of contemporary education. This approach, called ecologizing education, aims to develop a classroom culture in sync with the more-than-human world where diversity and interdependency are intrinsic. Blenkinsop and Kuchta illustrate this educational paradigm shift through the real-world stories of two public elementary schools located in British Columbia. They show that this approach to learning starts with recognizing the environmental and social injustices that pervade our industrialized societies. By documenting how ecologizing education helps children create new relationships with the natural world and move toward mutual healing, Blenkinsop and Kuchta offer a roadmap for what may be the most potent chance we have at meaningful change in the face of myriad climate crises. Timely, practical, and ultimately inspirational, Ecologizing Education is vital reading for any parent, caregiver, environmentalist, or educator looking for wholistic education that places nature and the environment front and center.

Abstract

Derived from an undergraduate course taught by the author, this accessible book seeks to challenge and provoke readers by posing a series of topical questions concerning climate change and society. Topic summaries provide answers to technical, socio-economic and moral questions surrounding the deployment of climate science. These include how to build and test a climate model, whom and what is most at risk from climate change, and whether we should geoengineer the climate. Practical exercises and case studies provide deeper insights by taking readers through role-play activities and authentic climate change projects. Supporting materials, including notes for instructors and students, graphics, video-clips, games, and online resources, offer scope for further private study and group work. With a focus on applying climate science in practice, this book is ideal for students of geography, natural science, engineering and economics, as well as practitioners involved in the climate service industry.

Abstract

Environmental Liberation Education offers an easy-to-use, culturally informed, and student-centered teaching approach to promote academic engagement and systemic change. It includes socio-emotional tools and practices to discuss, reflect, and act for superdiverse student success and happiness in a challenging, biodiverse world. The book presents three Transformative Tools: Diversity Circles, Multicultural Mindfulness, and Approach-in-Dimension for assessment. The Tools show educators at all levels across disciplines how to make unbiased, sustainable decisions in daily life, empowering teachers to bring peace and academic concentration into busy classrooms through a holistic understanding of body, mind, culture, and environment. It offers a range of interactive classroom-based and professional development exercises, including mindfulness practices, transformative journal worksheets, micro-actions, and a self-survey for educators to establish a baseline for diversity, mindfulness, and sustainability competencies. Synthesizing multicultural and sustainability education through mindfulness practices, Environmental Liberation Education is an invaluable resource for educators-in-training and practicing teachers.
