Learning in the Anthropocene: Reimagining Education in the Twenty-First Century reimagines the education of future generations in our complex society. Carl A. Maida argues we are living in an era of transition that has been repeatedly called an age of acceleration, and in this time of crisis, diverse constituencies will need to coalesce and create place-based arenas for critical inquiry and reflection around biodiversity, energy, and sustainability concerns. Education is therefore critical to the public sphere, which is polarized by contentious debates over class, ethnicity, culture, and more recently the fate of the planet. He posits that two provinces—the school and society—can join together to afford students greater freedom to produce future knowledge by advancing experiential instructional approaches as humanity faces profound challenges to its existence.
Professor Carl Maida has crafted an anthropology informed text, an authoritative statement, in part a social history, about the power of experience-based learning within a political, socio-economic, and physical environment framework. -- Sam Beck, Cornell University
With a skillful mix of ethnographic and historical analysis, Carl Maida has provided a roadmap for an engaged pedagogy, as the young, together with the rest of us, confront challenges to personal life and the planet. -- Brian McKenna, University of Michigan, Dearborn
Fascinating and mesmerizing! Carl Maida takes us on a broad, imaginative, and compelling journey of thinking and rethinking education in the 21st Century in Learning in the Anthropocene: Reimagining Education in the Twenty-First Century. -- Yong Zhao Ph.D., University of Kansas
Learning in the Anthropocene: Reimagining Education in the 21st Century is an important body of work that addresses how education should be envisioned in an age of acceleration punctuated with crisis, transition, and fluidity. * Journal of International and Comparative Education *
