This edited volume presents ways of integrating ecojustice principles and practices into schools and classrooms. Ecojustice education is a framework for thinking about our ethical responsibilities as educators and community members with a socio-ecological and political foundation that aims to address the interrelated crises of social and environmental injustice. The need for ecojustice education is more urgent than ever before as we confront a number of interrelated environmental crises (e.g., climate change, biodiversity and habitat loss, and pollution) that are disproportionately impacting marginalized communities, within and across national borders.
