66.046 - Diverse Approaches to Critical Pedagogies of Place in Urban Environmental Education

Mon, May 1, 8:15 to 9:45am, Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center, Floor: Meeting Room Level, Room 206 A

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

The purpose of this session is to critique and reconstruct urban environmental education through the collective research of adult and youth participants. Pertinent questions include: How do we define the urban environment; how do we come to know about our relationships with the urban environment; and how do we approach teaching, learning and research about urban environmental education? These interactive presentations explore the choices and possibilities of participatory environmental education in formal, informal, and hybrid learning environments ranging from a field based ecology course in an urban school to an after school arts program dedicated to participatory storytelling.
