Directly inspired by Indian British activist Satish Kumar’s 2013
seminal work ‘Soil, Soul and Society’, this book rethinks
education in line with thoughts around the current climate crisis,
the purpose of education in a post-pandemic world, and the mental
health of children, teachers and youth across societies.
Acknowledging the realities of a world battling with the after
effects of COVID-19, the author envisions a future for education
that realises real-world solutions to contemporary existential,
ecological and societal challenges that might otherwise be limited
to an imaginary or idealist space. Offering a novel approach
through a combination of narrative-based inquiry and
auto-ethnographic study, the book provides a synthesis of ideas
from both Kumar and political philosopher Hannah Arendt not usually
linked to debates in sustainability education. Ultimately providing
a critique of a predominantly Western-orientated, global education
movement, this interdisciplinary book will appeal to scholars,
researchers, and post-graduate students involved in education
theory and the philosophy of education, as well as indigenous and
sustainability education more broadly.
