Education as the Practice of Eco-Social-Cultural Change

<p>The current ecological crisis is the consequence of entrenched attitudes discourses and behaviours in human societies worldwide fostered and reinforced through modern educational traditions processes and institutions. This book envisions a radical transformation of education to focus on the mutual flourishing of human societies with the rest of life on Earth. In part the authors suggest approaching this as a problem of systemic design incorporating principles that challenge and undermine key premises of the Capitalocene���the socio-economic-political landscape sustaining the current educational regime. Tracing the implications of this transition they review core assumptions of modern Western culture that need to shift and identify a wide range of relevant capacities and practices grouped under four complementary educator ���stances��� for eco-social-cultural change.</p><p></p>
