A Decade of Earth-Centered Scholarship and Activism: Ecology, Spirituality, and Religion at Ten.

SPIRITUALITY; ACTIVISM; RELIGIONS; GRADUATE education

Origin stories reveal the myriad causes that converge to birth a new initiative. On the occasion of its tenth anniversary, this essay looks back to document the context and intellectual lineage out of which the Ecology, Spirituality, and Religion graduate program at the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) emerged in 2013, and suggests some possibilities for the future of transdisciplinary education and the fields of religion and ecology (e.g. Tucker and Grim 2001), religion and nature (e.g. B. Taylor 2010), and spiritual ecology (e.g. Sponsel 2012) more broadly. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
