Responding to Current Times of Anthropogenic Inheritance: Multispecies Relations in Early Childhood Education

Mon, April 11, 10:00 to 11:30am, Marriott Marquis, Floor: Level Four, Independence Salon B

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

The session draws attention to the pedagogical and ethical implications of children’s situated multispecies relations within current colonial times of environmentally damaged places. Drawing from multispecies ethnographies on Inuit and Coast Salish territories in Canada, the papers highlight how attunement to the places children co-inhabit with more-than-human others might interrupt colonizing and extractive relations. Grounded in anti-colonial and environmental onto-epistemologies, the papers highlight pedagogies that stay with the trouble of colonial anthropogenic inheritances, while opening possibilities for children to learn to live in less destructive ways with more-than-human life.
