Ecopedagogy and citizenship in the age of globalisation: connections between environmental and global citizenship education to save the planet Year of publication: 2015 Author: Greg William Misiaszek Corporate author: WileyโBlackwell Teaching the connections between environmentally-harmful acts and social conflict is essential but is often ignored in education. This article presents two ways in which these are not taught because of the policies of those who benefit from the ignorance of these connections: first, the avoidance of teaching global-local connectivity and second, the devaluing of non-dominant cultures. Ecopedagogy is a democratic, transformative pedagogy centred on increasing justice by critically teaching the politics of environmental issues. I argue that global citizenship education (GCE) must be an element of ecopedagogy to contextually learn globalisation's effects upon local communities. In addition, GCE's goal is to increase students' understanding of diverse cultures to respect them. Ecopedagogy is also essential to GCE to fully teach social conflicts resulting from environmentally harmful acts. I offer policy and pedagogical changes to disrupt reproductive environmental pedagogies that help to sustain environmental ills for ecopedagogy-GCE models to emerge. 
Global Citizenship Education and Ecopedagogy at the Intersections: Asian Perspectives in Comparison (Asian Journal of Education; Vol. 17, Special Issue) Year of publication: 2016 Author: Greg William Misiaszek | Lauren Ila Misiaszek Corporate author: Seoul National University. Education Research Institute This article provides a preliminary comparative analysis of environmental pedagogies in the context of widening spheres of citizenship due to intensifying globalization, with a particular focus on the East Asian context. In it, the authors specifically focus on Global Citizenship Education models and critical, Freirean-based ecopedagogies. The article includes analysis of research with expert scholars of citizenship and/or environmental pedagogies from six continents that focused on the intersectionalities between these two pedagogies and the effects of globalization on this work. The authors further explore the ways self-identified East Asian participants perceive differences in conceptualizations of citizenship between East Asia and the โWest.โ
