Innovative, provocative, transformative: a bold reimagining of education’s role in creating a sustainable, just future.
Fienor’s compelling book is a sharp, incisive examination of education’s role in tackling today’s global challenges. Blending insights from diverse fields—futures studies, law, environmental science, psychology, Indigenous knowledge, and even quantum physics and spirituality—Fienor challenges readers to rethink outdated ideologies and adopt innovative approaches for sustainability, equity, and peace. The book is divided into three sections, each adding momentum to her argument. In the first part, Fienor critiques current educational systems, advocating for a curriculum overhaul that incorporates global perspectives, especially Indigenous and multicultural knowledge, to position education as a catalyst for civic engagement. The second section focuses on empowerment, urging individuals to adopt interdisciplinary approaches and collective action. In the final section, Fienor emphasizes well-being as a crucial foundation for effective action, introducing practical strategies for mental, emotional, and physical balance. She reminds readers that lasting change begins with personal resilience. Fienor’s writing is taut, her ideas provocative, and her call to action unmistakable. With precision and urgency, she redefines modern education as a transformative force for equity and justice.
Bold and essential, this book equips readers to rethink their societal roles and actively shape a better future. A must-read for educators, policymakers, and engaged citizens.
