Teaching Sustainability: From Monism and Pluralism to Citizenship
Obeng-Odoom, Franklin
Journal of Education for Sustainable Development, v14 n2 p235-252 Sep 2020
The current pandemic might temporarily slow down environmentally destructive economic growth. However, claiming that we are flattening the curve of (un)sustainability is dangerous. The global sustainability crisis is not just being driven by uneconomic growth but also increasing global inequality and social stratification. Teaching this key lesson requires widening the repertoire of sustainability pedagogy from the conventional wisdom of pedagogical monism to the radical approach centred on both pluralism and pedagogical citizenship.
