TOWARDS PERENNIAL LEARNING
What is education for? What are the possibilities for healing and regeneration when we reconsider the aims and pedagogies of education in the face of ecological tipping points and injustice across the planet? Fortunately, students at Middlebury College have been considering these questions and exploring the possibilities. Towards Perennial Learning gathers the insights and wisdom of a new generation that educators—and learners—everywhere can benefit from. —Emily Hoyer
The new perennials glossary
Students in the fall of 2018 and fall 2019 Perennial Ag and Culture course were assigned a mid-term paper in which they were asked to develop two glossary terms that describe the perennial turn. In the summer of 2020, New Perennials interns Raechel Zeller and Kendal Pitman compiled the terms and developed a format for the glossary. And our fall 2020 intern, James Peacock, designed these beautiful images that are on display here.
