Abstract

This session draws attention to the pedagogical and ethical implications of curricular engagements with children’s relations with the more-than-human world that trouble colonial dualisms. Drawing from research in Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities in the United States, Canada, Australia, and South Africa, the papers highlight possibilities for both critical and generative interventions into normative and universalizing perspectives on children’s relations with the more-than-human world.
