Abstract Details

2008, MA, University of Cincinnati, Education : Educational Studies.
This study examines the use of the film An Inconvenient Truth for the purpose of connecting notions of peace education and environmental justice in the college classroom. Pretest and posttest surveys measured changes in attitudes toward peace and the environment amongst college undergraduates as they viewed An Inconvenient Truth and a comparison film. Results suggest that An Inconvenient Truth is particularly effective at positively influencing student attitudes toward the connection between peace and the environment. In these days of increasing global interdependence, this film offers a valuable tool for raising student consciousness related to the future direction of peace education.
