Professor Alberto Arenas

Professor Alberto Arenas was the keynote speaker for the North American Association for Environment Education Research Symposium, which brings together new and experienced researchers from around the globe to explore the current state and future directions of environmental education research. Arenas’ talk, COVID-19 and a Pedagogy of Eco-Solidarity, focused on intersecting forms of solidarity — interclass, interracial, intergender, international, intergenerational, and interspecies — as the foundation for a new pedagogy that brings together social and environmental justice.

Arenas also was part of a three-person panel, The Journal of Environmental Education: Increasing your Chances to Publish, that focused on various reasons why articles are rejected and ways of increasing authors’ options for publishing their articles. Arenas is the editor-in-chief of the publication, a leading journal on environmental and sustainability education.
