"The Ecopedagogy movement represents a recent transformation in critical pedagogy that seeks to interpolate quintessentially Freirean pedagogical aims of humanization and social justice with a future-oriented ecological politics that radically opposes the globalization of neoliberalism and imperialism, on the one hand, and which attempts to foment collective ecoliteracy and realize culturally relevant forms of knowledge grounded in normative concepts such as sustainability, planetarity, and biophilia, on the other."

I am a native English speaker, and the above opening line of the article makes pretty much no sense to me, and communicates very little information about the topic at hand. This sounds like it was grabbed at random out of Social Text, and doesn't much sound like a wikipedia article. Dxco (talk) 17:49, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

• I am a native English speaker with an Hon. BA in Philosophy, and I agree with you completely. This article needs a complete re-write to bring it into conformity with the English language as spoken by people who live outside of the magical kingdom of Critical Theory.
