Artists, designers and other visual communicators have an important role to play in building an understanding of complex environmental problems and creating a momentum for change. Due to the fact that many of the necessary responses to global environmental imperatives are social and political rather than merely technological, cultural producers are key to catalyzing a transition. Yet before we swing into action to save the world from cataclysmic climate change and other converging environmental crises, a new type of learning must be embedded in our practice. This presentation will explore the emergent concept of ecological literacy (eco-literacy) as a starting point for an engaged cultural producer.
American physicist Frijof Capra and educator David Orr defined the concept of ecological literacy in the early 1990s as an understanding of the organizing principles of nature. Ecological literacy has since been developed into a new educational paradigm creating a conceptual basis for integrated thinking about sustainability. Ecological literacy requires that an understanding of natural process become an educational staple. It creates a foundation to enable industrialized societies to re-invent sustainable ways of living.
Ecological literacy is epistemic learning, it depends on critical analysis of our cultural assumptions. The associated concept of transformative learning implies that ecological literacy can only be developed with a process of engagement and through putting new ideas into practice. This presentation will demonstrate how visual communicators can use the concept of ecological literacy to contribute to the development of new cognitive skills, map new intellectual territory and help disseminate new information at a time of rapid societal change. I will present various projects from my practice based PhD research and my work with EcoLabs, a non-profit ecological literacy initiative.

Feminist Pedagogy and Strategies of Denial:
Enabling Difficult Confrontations for Intergeneration Solidarity and Survival
By Dr. Joanna Boehnert
Presentation at the "Critical Pedagogies in the Neoliberal University: Expanding the Feminist Theme in the 21st century art [and design] school session #AAH2019, Brighton, April 2019
I will use this paper to reflect on tensions between generations of feminists with a focus on strategies of denial and their toll on the goals of feminist movements. Feminists movements have historically worked (with varying degrees of success) to end the normalisation of denial of social injustices and symbolic, structural and/or actual violence. Feminist pedagogy must intensify challenges to various manifestations of denial responsible for reproducing patriarchy, oppressive social relations and ecocide.
This paper will address denial in the face of divisive issues such as the ‘me too’ movement; the precarity faced by younger generations; and the intersections of patriarchy and ecological crises. It is based on my personal experience as a daughter of a feminist academic in Canada, as a student at art school and my current role as lecturer in design education oriented towards social and environmental justice. Solidarity and even survival depends on our ability to make confrontations with disturbing information a catalyst for change. The lessons learned from feminist struggles inform the work of confronting oppressions, including those on issues of environment justice. My experiences have led me to the conclusion that many, if not most, oppressive behaviours and attitudes are rooted in various types of denial and unconscious bias. Both are deep seated forces that prevent many of us (and especially those with more privilege) from seeing things that disturb our self-image. Feminist strategies such as transformative learning help us negotiate these difficult confrontations. These are needed now more than ever in higher education and beyond. Unfortunately, neoliberal modes of governance all but destroy opportunities for transformative learning.

Recently, I put together a white paper about "Sustainability: A Strategic and Tactical Approach to Succeed in the Interdependent World" and thought that you may like to read it. The awareness of "Green" or "Sustainability" issues has led to a fundamental shift in addressing environmental and social issues. Businesses are responding to this shift not only for environmental and social reasons but also for a very good economic reason: customers are demanding the shift. According to Deloitte, a survey shows that Green is becoming a "tiebreaker" in shopping decisions.
This white paper includes definition of Sustainability and its benefits, followed by what it means for business strategy and a very holistic approach to achieve Sustainability.

Rethinking Systems Thinking: Learning and coevolving with the worldDavid Ing
Abstract
Much of systems thinking, as commonly espoused today, was developed by a generation in the context of the 1960s to 1980s. Almost all of the luminaries of that era have passed on. In the 2010s, has system thinking changed with the world in which it is to be applied? Is systems thinking learning and coevolving with the world? Some contemporary systems thinkers continue to push the frontiers of theory, methods and practice. Others situationally increment the traditions of their preferred gurus, where approaches proven successful in prior experiences are replicated for new circumstances. Founded on interactions with a variety of systems communities over the past 15 years, three ways to rethink systems thinking are proposed:
1. Reorient systems thinking beyond “parts and wholes” towards “learning and coevolving”.
2. Learn where the service economy and the anthropocene are new, anticipating deutero and trito levels.
3. Coevolve the episteme, techne and phronesis across systems thinking, for both the living and non-living.
These proposed ways are neither exhaustive nor sufficient. The declaration that systems thinking should be rethought may itself be controversial. If, however, systems thinking is to be authentic, the theory, methods and practices with which we engage a changing world may require attention.

IARU Global Challenges 2014 Cornell Tracking our declineSarah Cornell
There is growing attention to the global risks - not just local impacts - of present rates of biodiversity loss. It is worth keeping in mind that 'biodiversity loss' actually means the destruction (sometimes irreversible) – by us, people – of living organisms, Earth's 'genetic library', species, ecosystems and habitats. The fact that ecosystems are complex, adaptive, and locally specific means they can't be adequately represented in a single global measure. But without any overarching global perspective on losses, the locally contingent measures are 'untethered' to the real risks of systemic change. Scientists of many kinds are rising to the transdisciplinary challenge of dealing with this complexity in the face of global drivers of change (climate change, development pressures), recognizing that it is a challenge for everyone, not just academia.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.

10. Previously men could be divided simply into the
learned and the ignorant… But your specialist cannot
be brought in under either of these two categories.
He is not learned, for he is formally ignorant of all that
does not enter into his specialty; but neither is he
ignorant, because he is “a scientist” and “knows” very
well his own tiny portion of the universe.
We shall have to say that he is a learned ignoramus,
which is a very serious matter, as it implies that he is a
person who is ignorant, not in the fashion of the
ignorant man, but with all the petulance of one who is
learned is his own special line.
(Ortega e Gassett, 1932)

31. Resilience -
The amount of change a system can undergo
without changing state
robustness, transformability, stability…
32. e.g.: The price of fertilizer does
not include the cost of water
Externalities -
remediation
Costs (or benefits) that are external to the market
A consequence of the fact that nobody
owns the natural environment can be that it
is valued at zero…
… but environmental costs can
(Pearce, Markandya and Barbier)
be very significant
What might shape the value of
environmental ‘resources’?
Scarcity, Substitutability
…and Society itself
