Katharine Burke M.Ed. is a primary and secondary teacher, deep ecologist and regenerative curriculum designer, from Skagerak International School, Sandefjord, Norway.
She has been an educator for over 30 years. For her Masters in Nature Ecology and Sustainability she wrote a thesis on ‘Restorying our Connection to the Natural World: Narrative Research into Teachers’ Ecological Awareness’. This led to a project at her school where teachers developed ways to move towards ecological perspectives. Her new book Earthwards came out of this work.
