Dr. Patrick Howard is an Associate Professor of Education at CBU. His interests include language and literacy, pedagogy, ecological and sustainability education. He presented a perspective that education must be re-purposed because it was initially organized in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and designed to meet very different challenges than those we face today. There have been many efforts to shift education to address societal changes; he proposes one that reflects a vision that contributes to well-being for all – individually, collectively, and for the ‘other than human’ life on our planet. He introduced us to the Living School concept.
