Green Theory & Praxis: The Journal of Ecopedagogy (ISSN 1941-0948)

Welcome to the journal's new home as the flagship journal of the Ecopedagogy Association International. Our journal also has a new URL: http://greentheoryandpraxis.org. We seek to build on the good work that has been done to help establish Green Theory & Praxis and to make of it something of a chrysalis for the journal's present and future form and reputation.

The idea to have Green Theory and Praxis: A Journal of Ecopolitics was initially conceived by Anthony Nocella, Mark Somma, Michael Becker and Steve Best following an infamous revolutionary environmentalism conference at California State University, Fresno in 2003. In 2004, an Advisory Board was formed with Somma serving as Editor, leading to the first issue of the journal in 2005. Since that time the journal has been committed to publishing peer-reviewed essays on ecological politics and critical book reviews of recent relevant literature. In our last issue, and has expanded upon the format to include multimedia video interviews.

Green Theory & Praxis remains committed to being a high-quality, academic journal publishing papers and reviews on more radical ecological matters that will seldom if ever be found in many of the journals now publishing pieces on environmental ethics and sociology. However, with its new home at the Ecopedagogy Association International, we have taken the opportunity to transform the journal from being 'Green Theory and Praxis: A Journal of Ecological Politics' to 'Green Theory & Praxis: The Journal of Ecopedagogy.'

Green Theory & Praxis is now the world's first and only journal committed to evaluating and theorizing the political, cultural and social issues of sustainability and other ecological movements through the lens of their pedagogical potential to evoke new moral sensibilities, practices and consciousness for a more harmonious planetary experience. We continue the lineage of GTP's former mission, then, but now evolve and broaden it to more appropriately tether the political to the pedagogical and vice-versa. In forthcoming issues, we seek nothing less than to develop transformative pathways that will allow for the forms of intervention and imagination that are necessary if ecology is to have an ethics and the rising wave of green theory is to exhibit a praxis-oriented approach to the real moral crises facing planetary life today.
