[Tim Zimmerman]

Hi New Leaf folks,

Could you pass this around to friends who might be interested (or sign 
up yourself)?  And, Sarah B., could you please forward this to the 
environmental student groups' lists at the other 5C institutions and cc 
me? - Thanks

=============
I have seats available in my Hampshire College course "Critical pedagogy 
of place: A tool for environmental action and social change" course 
number: CS-0257-1.

Here's the description:

Critical pedagogy of place: A tool for environmental action and social 
change: Critical pedagogy of place: a tool for environmental action and 
social change. In this advanced course on environmental education, we 
will read seminal works on notions of place (Thoreau; Leopold), critical 
pedagogy (Freire), place-based (Sobel), critical theory (hooks), queer 
ecology (Mortimer-Sandilands), and ecophilosophy. We will also read 
modern thinkers such as Gruenwald/Greenwood, Berry, Gough, and 
non-white, indigenous and gender diverse scholars LaDuke, Taylor, 
Hoffner and others. We will spend time in "places" (possibly including a 
field trip, or two) to investigate our own notions and perceptions 
thereof to connect the theory and practice. Students in this class will 
also participate in a whole-class, semester-long activity. Journaling, 
class discussion, class project participation, and writing a final paper 
will serve as forms of evaluation for this class. Prerequisite detail: 
CS 0194 Env. Ed.: Foundations and Inquiries (preferred). If the student 
has not take CS 0194, they must have taken an education course and a 
course on Critical Pedagogy or Critical Theory or receive Permission of 
the Instructor.

NOTE: there are prereqs but student should contact me if they have 
course experience that is different than what is described but they 
believe would count.

- Tim
