Ecopedagogy

Educating for Sustainability in Schools and Society

This accessibly written introduction, ideal for courses in both education and environmental studies, establishes the idea and history of ecopedagogy as a social and educational movement for sustainability. Author Richard Kahn then turns his attention to critically examine both the pros and cons of the current sustainability developments in several major contemporary educational sectors. Ultimately he provides a powerful illustration for how the notion of ecopedagogy as a form of ongoing education can offer emancipatory critiques of schools, educational policy, and institutional and organizational culture.
