Description
Drawing upon diverse disciplinary lenses, including education, anthropology, environmental studies, and Indigenous studies, students critically analyze the theoretical underpinnings of land-based education. Students explore key concepts such as place-based learning, experiential education, eco-literacy, and Indigenous ways of knowing. By participating in interactive lectures, discussions, collaborative group activities, presentations, and guest speaker sessions, students acquire fundamental insights into the connections between land, Indigenous knowledge systems, and educational methodologies. Students develop and articulate their own theory and practice of land-based education and consider implications for facilitating land-based learning in their own diverse classroom settings.
