Abstract

The article titled "Letters to the Editor" discusses the concept of place-based education in geoscience. The author expresses concerns and objections to this practice, arguing that it moves away from scientific disciplines and towards political science and sociology. They argue that mixing scientific and non-scientific methods can dilute scientific content and thinking. The author also questions the scientific rigor of place-based geology education and criticizes the inclusion of justice goals in a science curriculum. They believe that incorporating place-based education poses a danger to the integrity of geology as a science. [Extracted from the article]
