Redefining Care in a Global Pandemic: Problematizing Relational Models in Socio-Ecological Systems

Fri, April 22, 8:00 to 9:30am PDT (8:00 to 9:30am PDT), Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina, Floor: North Tower, Ground Level, Pacific Ballroom 19

Session Type: Structured Poster Session

Abstract

In this structured poster session, we highlight 12 projects that: create learning environments that foster ecological care; include more-than-human inhabitants of ecosystems (Puig de la Bellacosa, 2017); support learners’ ecological identities; and nurture care for local ecosystems through learning experiences that foster multispecies relationships. This panel invites exploration of fostering social + ecological care in our approaches to environmental and STEM education, while also questioning the assumptions we have about our cultural practices. Authors in this session take different approaches on social-ecological care and questioning nature/culture binaries. This poster session highlights the tensions in how the researchers and educators in environmental education define and apply the notion of care and creating community across formal classrooms, informal contexts, and digital spaces.
