Environmental Education as Site of Critical Inquiry

Fri, April 22, 11:30am to 1:00pm PDT (11:30am to 1:00pm PDT), Manchester Grand Hyatt, Floor: 2nd Level - Harbor Tower, Harbor Ballroom F

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Research concerned with environmental education has emerged as a site of methodological pluralism and critical conceptual innovation. This panel suggests environmental education research (EER) plays an important role in cultivating equitable educational systems in the present. EER foregrounds how the well-being of all collectives, including humans and more than human others, is interdependent and relational. The papers in this session explore these themes, and their relation to the important work of de-centering whiteness and settler colonialism in outdoor and environmental education. Our discussant’s work focuses on the pervasiveness of anti-blackness across educational spaces and was invited to help us trouble the whiteness of environmental education, and raise questions about the legacy of anti-blackness and settler colonialism in environmental education.
