I've been reading (with some difficulty) Beyond stewardship: common world pedagogies for the Anthropocene by Affrica Taylor (Faculty of Education, Science, Technology and Mathematics, University of Canberra) who "infuses her geographies of childhood, common world pedagogies, and multispecies ethnographic research with feminist, queer and...

NAEE has published its Annual Review for 2016 / 17.  You will find it here.  I should declare an interest immediately as I had a hand in creating it.  NAEE says that the review: "sets out key developments in the year, reflections...

I've been reading, rather belatedly, the concluding report (March 2016) of Scotland's  Learning for Sustainability National Implementation Group.  This is packed with flag-waving claims.  Given Scotland's reputation for claiming that it does things differently, better and yesterday, I was not surprised to...

I hope Al G's new film, An Inconvenient Sequel: truth to power is better than the original.  I certainly trust that it doesn't contain as many errors as the first – errors that led a UK judge to force the DfE...

I see that Paul Vare and I have been mentioned “in despatches” [*] by UNESCO in its SDG Learning Objectives.  It is, of course, always nice to have your work noticed. The report begins: "Education is UNESCO’s top priority because it is...

An email from Routledge the other day telling me that one of my papers (Scott, Reid and Gough) from 2002 had suddenly been published on-line in Planet. This is the Abstract: This paper derives from a contribution we made to the Council...
