Kathleen Kesson (with Emily Hoyler) has published a paper entitled “Education For the End of the World (as we know it)” in the latest issue of The Journal of School and Society (a publication of the John Dewey Society). The theme of the issue – Volume 8, Issue 2 (2022) – is What’s Really Worth Sustaining?
The paper closes with these words:
“Somehow, we have to find appropriate ways to unravel a way of being that, in recent years, has accelerated around the world at a dizzying rate. It is impossible to address the problems in education or propose new models of sustainability unless the crisis of modernity—its shadow—is addressed head on. The transition from a dying society to an as-yet-undefined future will not be painless. It will not be without conflict. But it is necessary.”
