Blenkinsop, Fraser & Wihelmsson (2024). Ecologizing Bildung: Educating for the eco-social-cultural challenges of the twenty-first century.

JoseManu

This paper has two main purposes. The first, more informational, is to introduce, re-introduce, the German-Nordic concept of Bildung (1) to Canadian environmental education. This includes a brief attempt to define, a short overview of its history which stretches back to the Eighteenth century at least, and then an exploration of why and whether Bildung might still have some relevance and value in a postmodern, post-humanist, world filled with social crises and myriad human injustices that need attending to. The second purpose, is more theoretically expansive and experimental, wherein we explore ways this modern humanist concept of Bildung might not … Continúa leyendo Blenkinsop, Fraser & Wihelmsson (2024).

Harvester & Blenkinsop (2010). Environmental education and ecofeminist pedagogy: Bridging the environmental and the social. 

JoseManu

This paper begins by suggesting that issues of social and ecological justice are not mutually exclusive. They are tied together through the logic of domination which is, in turn, sustained by oppositional value dualisms such as man/ woman, human/nature, and white/non-white. As such, we suggest that environmental education must deal with the shared logic of domination as opposed to any individual dualism. The body of this paper attempts to respond to this challenge through an exploration of ecofeminism and then an expansion of several components of what might be included in an ecofeminist pedagogy. This exploration focuses on three potential … Continúa leyendo Harvester & Blenkinsop (2010). Environmental education and ecofeminist pedagogy: Bridging the environmental and the social.

Fettes, Cole, y Blenkinsop (2024). Prompts for eco-social transformation: What environmental education can learn from transformative design. 

JoseManu

This paper seeks to bring together two seemingly disparate conversations, design and environmental education, with the intent to offer an interesting, new, useful approach to developing educational responses to the climate and ecological crises engendered by the Capitalocene. Beginning with observations on the relevance of design to the creation of alternative futures, we outline results from a six-person year-long research project that led us to identify six principles for guiding eco-social-cultural change: all my relations, abundant time, mystery/unknowability, embeddedness/integration, ancient futures, and (re)creative dissonance. We situate this work within transformative orientations to design, which are shown to parallel critical threads … Continúa leyendo Fettes, Cole, y Blenkinsop (2024).
