Walking the Pilgrimage (2~17, Jan, 2010, Wakayama, Japan)
Environmental ethics enables us to find appropriate ways to articulate ecosystem values, which calls for nonlinear complex thinking beyond traditional scientific methods. Today, while the devastating effects of the anthropogenic climate crisis are clear, rich and diverse means exist for knowing, understanding, valuing the world and taking action. This calls for a powerful coalition of science, ecohumanities and arts with a solid foundation in environmental ethics. Through this course, we wish to learn and also communicate a profound humbleness and appreciation of the Planet Earth: “to underscore our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known (Carl Sagan)".

Welcome


Greetings from Japan and congratulations to you all for deciding to take on this challenge. I'm sure it will be a trip of lifetime for all of us and we all so look forward to welcoming you all to Wakayama. Once the program gets going, this site will become a daily summary & notice board for your friends and family to follow your trip, and also for us to reflect on the trip later.
