More-than-Human Stories: Experimental Co-Productions in Outdoor Environmental Education Pedagogy
Environmental Education Research, v26 n9-10 p1294-1312 2020
This research draws upon pedagogical experimentation on a ski-touring journey in the Australian Alps, building upon place-responsive pedagogies in outdoor environmental education with insight from new materialist and posthuman theory. In particular, this research focusses on the generative potential of considering co-productions and assemblages that include the materiality of a more-than-human world. Combining place-responsive and new materialist ideas, the concept of more-than-human stories is offered as a pedagogical strategy that may challenge anthropocentrism and develop different ways of thinking about and with more-than-human places. An example of these ideas in practice is offered, where Ya, an undergraduate student, presents her more-than-human story--"One Single Moment"--a picture-story book created on the ski-touring journey. Following her picture-story book, she maps the conditions of possibility, the various pedagogical influences that led to the creation of "One Single Moment." Our aim through this research is to offer methodological and pedagogical insight into using new materialist theories in creative and productive ways.
