The End of Education

This podcast from the University of British Columbia's Global Citizenship Seminar Series. In this podcast, Dr. David W. Orr, who is a Professor and Chair of the Environmental Studies Program at Oberlin College, speaks on the topic of "The End of Education." The show notes state:

"Dr. Orr's talk is intended to be a follow up to one of his famous essays, "What is Education For" (published over 20 years ago). This essay was based in part on a commencement address to a graduating class at Arkansas College, and explored "six myths about the foundations of modern education, and six new principles to replace them." His talk will seek to connect sustainability, education and politics through careful consideration of how and what the university community learn in an effort to achieve "ecological literacy" for all."
