James Lovelock teaching at Schumacher College in the 1990s

We’re very sorry to hear of the passing of James Lovelock, founder of Gaia, who taught at Schumacher College from its inception in 1991 returning for 11 years. Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this time as we remember with gratitude his significant contribution to the learning community here over the years.

Find out more about his connection with Dartington and his influential work on Gaia theory in this video with Dr Stephan Harding, who worked closely with James Lovelock for a substantial period developing new work on Gaia.
