On Membership, Humility, and Pedagogical Responsibilities: A Correspondence on the Work of Wendell Berry
Martusewicz, Rebecca A.; Edmundson, Jeff; Kahn, Richard
Mid-Western Educational Researcher, v25 n3 p44-68 Sum 2012
Wendell Berry is a novelist, essayist, conservation activist and farmer who has had a lot to say over the last half century about the impact of modern industrial society on small farm communities and the land especially since WWII. In this three-way conversation, the authors take up central aspects of Berry's work to think about how it has influenced their thinking as teacher educators focused on the intersections between social and ecological crises challenging our world. Themes of responsibility, leadership, community membership, friendship, "settler colonialism," racism, land use, and ecological sustainability are brought to bear on education for just and healthy communities. (Contains 4 footnotes.)
