In this episode we talk to Dr John Owens, a Senior Lecturer in Ethics and Public Policy and Dr Melissa Glackin a Reader in Science & Environmental Education about their research and practice within the fields of environmental education and climate crisis.
How can educators be well equipped to teach environmental education? There are various good resources being produced, explains Dr Owens, however having access to resources is not the same as having opportunity to use them in a meaningful way. Dr Owens goes on to talk about his research into the ‘capability approach’, a toolkit for thinking and investigating wellbeing, social arrangements, social justice, and the freedom that people have.
