Session Type: Roundtable Session

Abstract

The climate crisis is really a crisis of social and environmental relations that require a broadscale transformation of onto-epistemologies toward more relational and critical ways of being (Escobar, 2018). While many environmental educators make climate change connections, there is ample opportunity to direct the field—and those in adjacent spaces—toward intentionally disrupting the normative white, liberal, and settler-colonial histories of environmental education (Matsuoka & Raphael, 2024; Sultana, 2022). Using a variety of qualitative and critical design-based methods, this session uses varied participatory design methods and approaches to create a vision of environmental teacher education that embraces critical transdisciplinarity, through collective action. Set across diverse teacher education programs, this symposium offers insights into how to intentionally design for climate justice education.
