“As we see in ongoing global youth activism, and as many of us feel in our classrooms daily, students barely have the patience to go through the motions of getting an education as a means to an individualist, career-oriented end. They are waking up to the fact that their time on this planet is limited, and that what they—and we—do now will significantly shape the future of life for all beings on this planet. Students want something different from their education than what their professors studied. How will we as educators—often exhausted, burned out, and despairing, too—rise to this moment?”
