Systemic Socio-Environmental Change From the Local to the Planetary: Comparatively Analyzing Needs and Leveraging Possibilities

Mon, April 20, 10:35am to 12:05pm, Virtual Room

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

The session holistically explores processes of determining specific needs for systemic change that can promote socio-environmental justice in education, as well as how these possibilities for transformation might be leveraged. The conceptual and praxis-based presentations offer wide-ranging international perspectives on the topic by scholars working throughout Asia, Oceania, and the Americas, and move across themes of ecopedagogical literacy, ecological democracy and citizen science, socio-environmental change work in subjugated and threatened spaces, and UNESCO as a public intellectual with potential to enact socio-environmental change. They employ discourses of planetary sustainability, citizenship spheres from local to planetary, Southern epistemologies, democracy and human rights, diversity, methodologies, ethics, literacies, intensification of post-truthism, media, research and politics, s/Sciences, and of international organizations such as UNESCO.
