EcoPedagogy Association International

Ecopedagogy recognizes that sustainability is not being realized because, in large part, it represents the antithesis to the political, economic, and cultural status quo of the powerful forces now fueling the growth of a globalized mono-society of militarism and transnational capitalist development agendas.

Green Theory and Praxis: The Journal of EcoPedagogy

GTP represents a scholarly effort to present research papers and essays at the transformative nexus of ecological politics and culture, ecocriticism, the critique of social structures, and sustainability education. The editorial board of GTP takes the position that many human societies and their attendant political economy and cultural norms depart strikingly from what is needed to maintain ecological harmony and planetary/species flourishing.

Overview of EcoPedagogy

The Ecopedagogy movement is an outgrowth of developments in critical pedagogy, a body of educational ideas and practices influenced by the philosopher, Paulo Freire. Following Freire, ecopedagogy's mission is to develop a robust appreciation for the collective potentials of being human and to foster social justice throughout the world, but it does so as part of a future-oriented, ecological political vision that radically opposes the globalization of ideologies such as neoliberalism and imperialism, on the one hand, and which attempts to foment forms of critical ecoliteracy, on the other.

EcoJustice Education

EcoJustice Education is an approach that analyzes the increasing destruction of the world's diverse ecosystems, languages and cultures by the globalizing and ethnocentric forces of Western consumer Culture. EcoJustice scholars and educators also study, support and teach about the ways that various cultures around the world actively resist these colonizing forces.
