Do We Know What We Are Doing? Reflections on Learning, Knowledge, Economics, Community and Sustainability

Rolf Jucker delves into the complex interplay between learning, knowledge, economics, and community in relation to sustainability. He challenges the conventional narratives surrounding education, arguing that the discussions often overlook the deeper implications of what true sustainability entails. Through thoughtful reflections, he encourages readers to analyze not just the goals of educational practices, but also the underlying values and assumptions that shape them.

Jucker's exploration invites a critical examination of how education can evolve to better serve communities and the planet. By emphasizing the necessity of broader dialogues, he points toward innovative approaches that foster meaningful change, urging both individuals and institutions to reconsider their roles in promoting sustainable practices. This work serves as a wake-up call for educators, policymakers, and community leaders to rethink their strategies and to cultivate a more holistic understanding of sustainability.
