Occupy Education: Global Studies in Education, cartea 22

Autor Tina Lynn Evans
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 27 sep 2012
Occupy Education is motivated by the sustainability crisis and energized by the drive for social justice that inspired the Occupy movement. Situated within the struggle for sustainability taking place amid looming resource shortages, climate change, economic instability, and ecological breakdown, the book is a timely contribution to community education and action. It opens a whole realm of integrated theory to educators and sustainability activists - and demonstrates how that theory can be moved into practice. Occupy Education is an excellent text for courses in sustainability studies, social philosophy, globalization, social justice, food system praxis, sustainability education, political economy, and environmental studies.

Recenzii

Our minds, and education which shapes our minds, have been colonised with false categories of separation, fragmentation, competition, scarcity, and greed. We have to free our minds in order to free life on earth and all people from the threat of destruction and extinction. Occupy Education is an important book for our finding our way to an inclusive freedom, to Earth Democracy. (Vandana Shiva, founding member of the Navdanya project; author of Earth Democracy and other books; winner of the Right Livelihood Award) With the social and environmental fabric of our world wearing down, and the time in which to act rapidly dwindling, along comes a book that offers us a sense of grounded hope and the tools to educate ourselves for a sustainable future. In the timeless tradition of radically engaged scholarship, Tina Lynn Evans not only illuminates the nature of the crises in our midst, but more importantly casts our collective gaze toward the faint beacon of light that is emerging on the horizon of human resiliency and innovation. (Randall Amster, Graduate Chair of Humanities, Prescott College)
