GLOBAL PERSPECTIVES IN ENVIRONMENTAL ADULT EDUC...

This book outlines theories and practices in environmental adult education that are emerging
worldwide. The need for environmental adult education arises not from a deficit platform of
lack of awareness and individual behavior modification - but rather from the asset belief in an
existing - if sometimes hidden - ecological knowledge of the need for a deeper sociopolitical 
race  and gender analysis of environmental problems  and the power and potential of democratic
participation and collective action. Authors from Canada  the Philippines  Kenya  India  Mexico
Fiji  Australia  Sudan  and the United States examine areas such as environmental racism and
the legacy of colonization  self-governance and community resistance  ecological  women's and
indigenous knowledge  international development and globalization  feminist pedagogical and
arts-based practices  and participatory research practice.
