Curriculum That Responds to the World: MAEEC

In a time of profound global change, we have a powerful opportunity to rethink the ways we learn, teach, and engage with the world around us. What if our curriculum took its cues from nature—not just as subject matter, but as mentor, metaphor, and method?

Nature offers guidance in the form of patterns, systems, and cycles. When we look into nature, rather than merely at it, we uncover rich ecological insights that can shape how we live, learn, and lead. Imagine designing a learning community that functions like a forest ecosystem, or crafting a curriculum inspired by the hydrological rhythms of a tide pool.

Join us for an inspiring conversation with Dr. Liza Ireland and doctoral candidate Glen Thielmann—both associate faculty in the MA in Environmental Education and Communication (MAEEC) program—as they explore what happens when ecological principles are woven into the heart of education. Learn how theory and practice meet to create a transformative, responsive, and grounded approach to teaching and learning.

It’s not too late to join our July intake. If you feel called to deepen your ecological awareness and connect with a community of changemakers, this is your invitation.
