Re-Doing Sustainability Education: Towards A Needs-Based Approach – Daniel Fischer

In the face of multiple socio-ecological crises, sustainability education has received growing acceptance as an integral part of 21st-century education. Nevertheless, as sustainability education becomes more widely adopted, it has encountered criticism for evolving into a superficial checklist of curricular topics, adopting a problem-centric approach, and presenting politically and ideologically charged solutions in polarized debates. This presentation addresses these criticisms, offering an educational response and advocating for the re-essentialization of sustainability education to revitalize its purpose.

Description

Education has never played as critical a role in determining humanity’s future as it does in the Anthropocene, an era marked by humankind’s unprecedented control over the natural environment. Drawing on a multisited ethnographic project among schools and activist groups in India and South Africa, Peter Sutoris explores education practices in the context of impoverished, marginal communities where environmental crises intersect with colonial and racist histories and unsustainable practices. He exposes the depoliticizing effects of schooling and examines cross-generational knowledge transfer within and beyond formal education. Finally, he calls for the bridging of schooling and environmental activism, to find answers to the global environmental crisis.
