Green Theory & Praxis: The Journal of Ecopedagogy

Green Theory & Praxis: The Journal of Ecopedagogy (GTP) represents a scholarly effort to present research papers and essays at the transformative nexus of ecological politics and culture, ecocriticism, the critique of social structures, and sustainability education. The editorial board of GTP takes the position that many human societies and their attendant political economy and cultural norms depart strikingly from what is needed to maintain ecological harmony and planetary/species flourishing. The journal seeks to offer a forum for careful study of the theoretical positions, political and economic adjustments, behavioral and institutional alterations, pedagogical mobilizations, and spiritual emergences that will or should emerge in response to increasing ecological damage of both a physical and psychic nature. We seek critical analysis of the root causes of various ecological crises and to link theory to concrete prospects for social change through pedagogy conceived broadly. Given the scope and complexity of our approach, we anticipate transdisciplinary research papers, and we invite scholars and activists from countries throughout the world to submit manuscripts for peer review.

ERROR MESSAGES -- PLEASE NOTE!

 

Hello fellow journal readers...

My sincere apologies for the rash of error messages which have suddenly begun to crop up for some readers in their attempt to download articles or submit papers. My understanding is that despite error messages, one can still successfully download papers. However, submissions may be getting blocked.

I will be taking a complete rebuild and upgrade of the OJS system in the coming weeks. Please bear with me a little longer. This should fix this issue. Until then, if you have a submission, please email it to me directly at: richard.kahn@und.edu. Again, my apologies for the inconvenience that you may have experienced at our site recently.

Best,

Richard Kahn, Editor of Green Theory & Praxis

Welcome to the New Home of Green Theory & Praxis

 

Welcome to the journal's new home as the flagship journal of the Ecopedagogy Association International. Our journal also has a new URL: http://greentheoryandpraxis.org. We seek to build on the good work that has been done to help establish Green Theory & Praxis and to make of it something of a chrysalis for the journal's present and future form and reputation.

Since being housed at California State University, Fresno, Green Theory & Praxis has been committed to publishing peer-reviewed essays on ecological politics and critical book reviews of recent relevant literature. In our last issue, we expanded upon the format to include multimedia video interviews.

Green Theory & Praxis remains committed to being a high-quality, academic journal publishing papers and reviews on more radical ecological matters that will seldom if ever be found in many of the journals now publishing pieces on environmental ethics and sociology. However, with its new home at the Ecopedagogy Association International, we have taken the opportunity to transform the journal from being 'A Journal of Ecological Politics' to 'The Journal of Ecopedagogy.' Green Theory & Praxis is now the world's first and only journal committed to evaluating and theorizing the political, cultural and social issues of sustainability and other ecological movements through the lens of their pedagogical potential to evoke new moral sensibilities, practices and consciousness for a more harmonious planetary experience. We continue the lineage of GTP's former mission, then, but now evolve and broaden it to more appropriately tether the political to the pedagogical and vice-versa. In forthcoming issues, we seek nothing less than to develop transformative pathways that will allow for the forms of intervention and imagination that are necessary if ecology is to have an ethics and the rising wave of green theory is to exhibit a praxis-oriented approach to the real moral crises facing planetary life today.

Editors Wanted

 

Green Theory & Praxis is looking to augment its editorial collective with the addition, at least, of:

1) A general Editor:

GTP could use another Editor whose specialty is in Environmental Politics/Theory or Environmental Sociology. This position requires outreach to scholars associated with this subject to solicit and assure the publication of two essays per year.

2) Book Review/Conference Editors:

GTP is always looking for Review Editors to join the review collective. Review Editors will oversee an area specialty relevant to the journal that augments our present collective team expertise, and are responsible for overseeing 2 reviews for publication per year in the area specialty. Our present review collective includes area editors in: Ecoliteracy, Ecocriticism, Environmental Communication, and Environmental Politics. We especially desire Review Editors to oversee film and conference reviews, but are open to any and all applications for unduplicated review areas on a rolling basis.

Pay is volunteer combined with the potential for mountains of free literature and texts that you will get to keep (we can't review them all!).

Interested? Contact: richard.kahn@und.edu. Thanks!
