Globalizing Environmental Education: What's Language Got to Do with It?

Gough, Annette Greenall

Journal of Experiential Education, v16 n3 p32-39,46 Dec 1993

In attempting to "globalize" environmental education, the 30-volume series produced by UNESCO's International Environmental Education Programme has constrained discussion of environmental problems and solutions within the worldview of white, Eurocentric, English-speaking males from developed nations. The voices and perspectives of colonized and marginalized peoples are needed to confront critically the environmental crisis. (SV)
