Engaging Many Shades of Green in Challenging Times: Debating Pedagogy and Praxis

samedi 24 juin 2017 à 11:00–12:30 MDT
ENR2 N 595
Abstract

These are extraordinary times of environmental challenge and opportunity in the U.S. How shall we—as environmental scholars, teachers, and citizens—act accordingly? One key need, if we wish to work with and not against our fellow Americans, is to engage successfully with many shades of green: the diverse ways we collectively understand, care about, and take action on environmental issues. This may require that we and our students develop new skills in listening to people who are unlike us, in analytically understanding fundamental differences in how we approach environmental issues, and in practicing civil collaboration—and, when called for, civil disagreement—so as to draw a larger, more inclusive circle around contemporary American environmentalism. This discussion symposium features diverse views related to pedagogy and praxis, and offers session participants an opportunity to reflect on how their own scholarship, teaching, and action may more successfully thrive in these challenging times by engaging many shades of green.
