About the Book

This book explores the intersections between curriculum studies and sustainability. Recognizing that a bioregion is our «life place» and that curriculum studies is the interdisciplinary study of lived experience, this book engages in scholarship grounded in advancing ecological stewardship. By emphasizing an eco-curriculum, education can respond to the need to understand and preserve the ecological complexities that help maintain and restore biospheric wellness. This book will enable the reader to become better situated to formulate a more inspired, informed, and transformative understanding of the overlap between sustainability and education.

About the Author :
Nathan Hensley has worked as an instructor with several outdoor education programs, including the Student Conservation Association and Outward Bound. He has studied outdoor education, experiential education, received his Ed.D. in curriculum studies, and completed his doctoral work in curriculum studies and sustainability at Georgia Southern University. Most recently he instructed environmental studies and environmental education classes at Bowling Green State University.

Review :
"This book makes a major contribution to the growing movement for ecological consciousness and care for place. In perhaps his wildest move, Nathan Hensley recasts curriculum theorists as a community of healers." (David A. Greenwood, Canada Research Chair in Environmental Education; Lakehead University; Co-editor of 'Place-Based Education in the Global Age: Local Diversity') "In this essential text Nathan Stewart Hensley illuminates with breath-taking clarity the perils and possibilities that we face as a generation on the edge. If there ever was a teachable moment - a time of disequilibrium and dislocation, a time when the predictable and the common-place are recognized as inadequate and when lesson plans are thrown into doubt and newness can enter - that moment is now. Hensley shows us how to seize the time." (William Ayers, Author of 'Teaching Toward Freedom' and 'To Teach, the Journey in Comics') "(This is) a cogent summons to put life back into education, reconnect the young with their places, and defy the clueless who would pave over the minds and spirits of the young [...] Hensley asks teachers and educators to break down the walls, connect, embrace, see, experience [...] essential reading." (David Orr, Paul Sears Professor of Environmental Studies and Politics, Oberlin College; Author of 'Down to the Wire and Hope is an Imperative') "At a time when we are often confused about how to live sustainably and leave a better world for our children, Nathan Hensley's Curriculum Studies Gone Wild offers us an antidote for our malaise. Our children deserve an education founded on these precepts." (Florence Krall Shepard, Author of 'Ecotone')
