This course is designed to foster the development of advanced ecological literacies, reflecting analysis and appreciation of the ways humans relate to their environments (ecological, spiritual, and cultural), and of the relevance of these ideas to outdoor education. Students will be challenged to critically examine the broader social and ecological implications of outdoor education practice in various areas. Additionally, students will examine their own positionality as it relates to the environment and will investigate new approaches to engaging with the natural world. Through this process, students will gain insight into strategies that create more meaningful experiences in nature for their guests or students. As a result of this course, students will gain valuable insights to be more thoughtful and responsible in their roles as outdoor educators.
