Ecological literacy is the knowledge and wisdom to live sustainably. Its
absence from modern understanding has resulted both in disastrous
consequences and barriers to shifting to a sustainable world. The course
provides a foundation in ecological literacy which is then employed as a
pedagogical tool. Students will learn to promote Ecological Literacy in
diverse contexts, informed by environmental and risk communication, the
environmental social sciences and educational theory. A key case involves
promoting an understanding of Climate Change and Climate Action in
educational, public, private and policy contexts. Teachers, environmental
and sustainability professionals and social change agents will benefit from
the pedagogical skills and leadership capacities developed in the course.
