Transformative Sustainability Education - Reimagining Our Future (Paperback)

This book lays out the principles and practices of transformative sustainability education using a relational way of thinking and being. Elizabeth A. Lange advocates for a new approach to environmental and sustainability education, that of rethinking the Western way of knowing and being and engendering a frank discussion about the societal elements that are generating climate, environmental, economic and social issues. Highlighting the importance of Indigenous and lifegiving cultures, the book covers educational theory, transformation stories of adult learners, social and economic critique and visions of changemakers. Each chapter also has a strong pedagogical element, with entry points for learners, embodied practices and examples of taking action at micro/meso/macro levels woven throughout. Overall, this book enacts a relational approach to transformative sustainability education that draws from post humanist theory, process thought, relational ontology, decolonization theory, Indigenous philosophy and a spirituality that builds a sense of sacred toward the living world. Written in an imaginative, storytelling manner, this book will be a great resource for formal and nonformal environmental and sustainability educators.
