Tilstra, Elisabeth; Magnuson, Doug; Harper, Nevin J.; Lepp, Annalee – Journal of Outdoor and Environmental Education, 2022

Stonehouse, Paul – Journal of Outdoor Recreation, Education, and Leadership, 2021
Given the socio-environmental crises we face, educators might advisably look for means to address them.

This absence is concerning since fasts…

Bell, Martha – Journal of Adventure Education and Outdoor Learning, 2017
Adventure has outgrown its use as a metaphor and motive for educational journeys into the cultural outdoors. Self-reliance cannot counter the mechanisation of everyday life.
