Mitchell Thomashow

Works

• Ecological Identity: Becoming a Reflective Environmentalist : Based on his experiences teaching at Antioch New England Graduate School, Thomashow explores how an affiliation with environmental concepts changes the way a person thinks about citizenship, faith, agency, and education.
• Bringing the Biosphere Home: Learning to Perceive Global Environmental Change : Thomashow suggests that place-based natural history is a foundation for broadening spatial and temporal understanding of environmental change, and covers some of the existential challenges of species extinction and climate change. Thomashow also explores the relationship between the local and the global, and suggests ways for a person to develop fidelity to place in a world of transience.
• The Nine Elements of a Sustainable Campus : Provides campus-wide strategies for implementing organizational change, using sustainability as a foundation; the nine elements are energy, food, materials, governance, investment, wellness, curriculum, interpretation, and aesthetics.
