Abstract

[The Urban Environmental Education M.A.Ed. program at Antioch University Seattle prepares graduates to work successfully in urban communities on issues of climate, health, and environmental integrity. Academics, on-the-ground practice, and participatory action research push the boundaries and pedagogy of traditional environmental education to intersect dynamically with race, equity, inclusion, and culture. Graduates (90% of whom are currently employed) work with each other to create safe and bold spaces where difficult issues can be explored. The program prides itself on its diversity in the student body and the faculty, changing the way that environmental education plays out in urban communities.]
