What does it look like to live with integrity in the midst of
complicity? When the daily tasks of eating, working, and providing for
our homes are tangled up with climate change, exploitative working
conditions, colonial legacies of stolen land, and more, what do we do?
Based on five years of research, this book shares intimate narratives
about 12 educators working at the intersection of education,
environment, and social change, as they describe their understandings
and experiences of integrity and complicity in today’s world. Nora
Timmerman argues that these stories collectively teach us how scale
matters, to stop being one person, and to act anyway. Integrity comes
not from ridding oneself of complicity but from critical learning,
community accountability, cultivating interdependence, and strategic
experimentation to create new worlds. "This delightful book, Between
Integrity and Complicity, is an environmental educator’s manifesto
on how to live well in relation to communities of others. The stories
call on us to do more acting (with inevitable missteps) and less
worrying. The author skillfully untangles the roots of complicity,
integrity and suffering to show us the colourfully varied microcosm of
ecological and social renewal, perseverance, and possibility. This
book honours listening to the world in all its myriad ways—it is a
found treasure." —Leesa Fawcett, PhD, Environmental and Urban
Change, Coordinator of Environmental & Sustainability Education, York
University "This book explores the existential journeys of leading
environmental educators and scholars through illuminating portraits
and vignettes in a thoughtfully nuanced manner. It is a timely and
notable contribution to the literature." —Greg Lowan-Trudeau, PhD,
Associate Professor of Education, University of Calgary
