Education for Sustainability An International Mini-Symposium
Friday, April 4, 2008 1 – 4 pm 304 Fernow Hall Speakers Justin Dillon, King's College, London, UK Jo-Anne Ferreira, Griffith University, Brisbane, Australia Robert Stevenson, University at Buffalo, SUNY Arjen Wals, Wageningen Univ, The Netherlands (Cornell Visiting Scholar) Facilitator Marianne Krasny, Chair, Dept of Natural Resources, Cornell Sponsors: Department of Natural Resources, Department of Education, Office of Environmental Compliance and Sustainability (ECOS), Einaudi Center This mini-symposium explores approaches to learning that might contribute to the transformation of unsustainable systems, values and routines. It examines whether the "greening mantra" – greening the curriculum, the company, the campus, the community -- represents a rhetoric that pushes cosmetic or low-impact changes (e.g., recycling, reduction of emissions, increased energy efficiency) without questioning taken for granted values and routines that are fundamentally unsustainable (e.g., oil-dependency, continuous economic growth, materialism, consumerism). The mini-symposium should be of interest to students, staff, and faculty who are concerned with learning for change and transition in a range of contexts, including resource management, organizational learning, curriculum development, business (i.e., Corporate Social Responsibility), and health.
