Outdoor education is an active academic discipline.
Melody Pickle, a Ph. D candidate at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, is in the process of writing her dissertation. She posted in the Google Outdoor Education Group. Melody writes:
I am studying how writing is practiced, understood, and valued by outdoor experiential educators in diverse settings. Please take the following 10-minute survey to help with this research study. (Anyone who studies, teaches, or is otherwise actively involved in outdoor education will be a help to this study)
I’m going to see if Melody will join us for a podcast interview. Her study intrigues us and we certainly have a diverse facility, program and target audiences. Since we’ve started the blog and this large social media Web site, writing is – of course – on our minds. I hope she’ll join us. Stay tuned.
