The designing learning processes and learning spaces that enable students to contribute meaningfully to sustainability

A short interview with Arjen

Arjen Wals is Professor of Transformative Learning for Socio-Ecological Sustainability at Wageningen University and holds the UNESCO Chair of Social Learning and Sustainable Development. His teaching and research focus on designing learning processes and learning spaces that enable people to contribute meaningfully sustainability. A central question in his work is: how to create conditions that support (new) forms of learning which take full advantage of the diversity, creativity and resourcefulness that is all around us, but so far remain largely untapped in our search for a world that is more sustainable than the one currently in prospect? He is editor and co-editor of a number of popular books including: ‘Higher Education and the Challenge of Sustainability’ (Kluwer Academic, 2004).
He writes a regular research blog that signals developments in the emerging field of sustainability education which can be found here
