Climate Emotion, Agency, and Justice in Formal and Informal Settings

Thu, April 9, 2:15 to 3:45pm PDT (2:15 to 3:45pm PDT), Los Angeles Convention Center, Floor: Level Two, Room 515B

Session Type: Structured Poster Session

Abstract

This session seeks to advance scholarship around emotion and relationality in climate justice education. Despite growing attention to students’ emotions in science learning, two persistent challenges remain: (a) underdeveloped theories of emotion and relationality that consider how historicized identities intersect with sociopolitical, institutional, and pedagogical contexts; and (b) a lack of well-grounded designs that mobilize emotions into collective action toward systemic change. This session brings together 12 teams of researchers from four countries and 15 institutions who employ diverse theoretical and methodological approaches to study emotions and relationality. In response to this year’s theme, Unforgetting Histories and Imagining Futures: Constructing a New Vision for Education Research, we collectively speculate a vision of research that centers humanity, justice, and collective thriving.
