"Why Study for A Future We Won't Have?" (eBook, ePUB)

Commiserations and Encouragement for Ecologically Sorrowful Times

Beschreibung

"Why Study for A Future We Won't Have?" is was a sign carried by a student at a protest at a local school board. It provided the motivation for this collection. Herein are philosophical, poetic and practical essays that question the image of education we have all inherited, and provide encouragement, commiserations and examples of a more ecologically sound understanding of the living disciplines of knowledge entrusted to teachers and students in school. is book also explores the parallels between this ecopedagogy and hermeneutics. Hermeneutics is not just a research method about curriculum, teaching and learning, but is itself deeply pedagogical. e author has been exploring these issues since the early 1990s. Why mention this? Up against the dominant discourses that bend and shape our individual and collective lives in and outside of schools, our task is inevitably tough and long-standing. We all need encouragement and commiseration in these ecologically sorrowful times.
