This book studies the importance of adopting Green Academia as a
systemic long-term counter-intervention strategy against any form of
impending pandemics in the post-COVID era and beyond. It argues that
anti-nature and capitalistic knowledge systems have contributed to the
evolution and growth of COVID-19 across the globe and emphasizes the
merits of reinstating nature-based and environment-friendly
pedagogical and curricular infrastructures in mainstream educational
institutions. The volume also explores possible ways of weaving
ecology and the environment as a habitual practice of teaching and
learning in an intersectional manner with Science and Technology
Studies. With detailed case studies of the green schools in Bhutan and
similar practices in India, Kenya, and New Zealand, the book argues
for different forms of eco-friendly education systems and the
possibilities of expanding these local practices to a global stage.
Part of the Academics, Politics and Society in the Post-COVID World
series, this book will be an essential read for scholars and
researchers of sociology, cultural studies, decolonial studies,
education, ecology, public policy social anthropology, sustainable
development, sociology of education, and political sociology.
