Deschooling Environmental Education Weston will explore the radical critique of education by Ivan Illich, John Holt, Paulo Freire, and others and its upshot for real teaching practice for environmental education. He argues that from this perspective, for example, the goal of "ecological literacy" may be deeply problematic. The needed changes may be much broader, more structural, and less school- and curriculum-centered than we now think. Tuesday, November 28 2 p.m. to 3:30 a.m. EESAT 176 |

Ethics on the Edge: Reimagining Environmental Ethics Weston will attempt to reimagine environmental ethics as a whole as a new kind of practice, exploratory and open-ended, rather than as an extension or application of existing ethical theories or methods. Wednesday, November 29 2:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. EESAT 176 |
