I joined the faculty in the Department of Teacher Education at Eastern Michigan University in the fall of 1988 where I taught for 31 years. Most of my work has focused on the influence of languaging systems on the ways we learn to think and behave in modern industrial cultures, and the ethical ramifications of these processes for educators across contexts. At the turn of the new Millenium I met and began to work closely with Chet Bowers just as my work was turning toward ecofeminism and the unavoidable intersections between social and ecological justice. Both my scholarship and teaching has been dedicated to developing lines of analysis in a field now known as EcoJustice Education. I have been blessed with brilliant and dedicated students and collegues in this area of educational thought, who now take these ideas in all sorts of needed analytic directions. I retired from EMU in August 2019, and now live with my husband, four dogs, two cats and two horses in southern New Hampshire.edit
The book explores the principles and commitments that Wendell Berry has offered the world over the last 50 years as a foundation for understanding what a pedagogy of responsibility could mean.

At certain historical times, theories which oppose a prevailing social regime unwittingly work on its behalf. The discourse of Critical Pedagogy displays a tendency toward such incorporation.

This paper is a keynote address given at the 2020 ECOFE conference in Tampere, Finland. It reflects on the development of a strong relationship with a former race horse and my own need to heal from institutional life as a woman academic. The paper draws on ecofeminism, Tibetan Buddhist principles, and other concepts to consider what healing could mean for both this horse and me.
