But I hope this can be a place to share ideas about the nature of education today or promote actual research (not highly technical). This may include thoughts about lifelong learning and knowledge and belief systems  and critical thinking\/media\/AI literacy, with an emphasis on climate and living closer to nature, empathy, the common good.

Far less attention and investment are devoted to research aimed at regenerating our societies, healing ecosystems, or fostering long-term planetary wellbeing. Transforming these priorities could have profound implications. It would require a shift from fragmented, siloed disciplines toward a more integrative approach, one that brings together the natural sciences, social sciences, humanities, the arts, and indigenous sciences to serve the real, situated challenges of people and communities.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.merlot.org\/merlot\/viewMember.htm?id=924842\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Merlot<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/profile\/Richard-Walker-28\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Research Gate<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/charteroak.academia.edu\/RickWalker\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Follow me on Academia.edu<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-contact-form is-layout-flex wp-container-jetpack-contact-form-is-layout-7f6ac06e wp-block-jetpack-contact-form-is-layout-flex\"><a href=\"https:\/\/collegeresearchsharing.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Submit a form.<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Complete the form below with an intelligent and thoughtful\u00a0 comment about something important!
