The School of Missing Studies

The School of Missing Studies is a concept developed by scholar Vandana Shiva that critiques the global education system for neglecting local, indigenous, and ecological knowledge. It highlights how mainstream education often disregards diverse ways of understanding the world, leading to cultural erosion and environmental harm. Instead, it advocates for integrating traditional, community-based knowledge into learning, fostering resilience, sustainability, and respect for cultural diversity. This approach aims to create a more inclusive and holistic education system that values different perspectives and fosters harmony between humans and nature.
