Grounding Education in Environmental Humanities : Exploring Place-Based Pedagogies in the South, Hardback Book

Grounding Education in Environmental Humanities : Exploring Place-Based Pedagogies in the South Hardback

Edited by Lucas Johnston, Dave Aftandilian

Part of the Routledge Research in Higher Education series

Hardback

Description

This edited volume draws together educators and scholars to engage with the difficulties and benefits of teaching place-based education in a distinctive culture-laden area in North America: the United States South.

Despite problematic past visions of cultural homogeneity, the South has always been a culturally diverse region with many historical layers of inhabitation and migration, each with their own set of religious and secular relationships to the land.

Through site-specific narratives, this volume offers a blueprint for new approaches to place-based pedagogy, with an emphasis on the intersection between religion and the environment.

By offering broadly applicable examples of pedagogical methods and practices, this book confronts the need to develop more sustainable local communities to address globally significant challenges.
