In response to criticism about anthropocentric responses to human-made environmental destruction, the authors introduce a…

Hannu L. T. Heikkinen; Rauno Huttunen; Kathleen Mahon; Stephen Kemmis – Environmental Education Research, 2024
A number of philosophical perspectives, such as deep ecology, posthumanism, and new materialisms, to name a few, have challenged the deep-rooted anthropocentric assumptions about human exceptionalism. Yet these non-anthropocentric perspectives must still find a place for human action; they require clear conceptualisations of human action and…

Wildlife-human relations in the United States are predominantly influenced by Euro-American sociocultural dynamics and (neo)colonial legacies. Humans dominate nonhuman animals through violence, suffering, and death. Wildlife management as a practice is becoming increasingly criticized. Disagreement emerges from epistemological and ontological…

Ásgeir Tryggvason; Johan Öhman; Katrien Van Poeck – Environmental Education Research, 2023
In this scholarly review we critically discuss the last 30 years of research on pluralism in environmental and sustainability education (ESE). Pluralism has been a focal point for a vast amount of theoretical and empirical studies in the research field. Since the journal "Environmental Education Research" (EER) was established, 158…

Posthumanist orientations have underlined the need to foster non-hierarchical relations with other-than-human beings to adequately attend to planetary crises and help life to survive and flourish. Since a posthumanist critique towards natural sciences has mostly leaned on questioning the premise of human subjects making sense of objectified…

Affifi, Ramsey – Environmental Education Research, 2020
In the critical tradition, environmental education discourse interrogates how knowledge constructs experience. But environmental education also emphasises perceiving, understanding and responding to "more-than-human" beings and processes. These two motivations are in tension. One problem is that the epistemological orientation driving…

Jukes, Scott; Reeves, Ya – Environmental Education Research, 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…

Lindgren, Nicklas; Öhman, Johan – Environmental Education Research, 2019
This paper contributes to the debate about the absence of nonhuman animals (The term 'nonhuman animal' is used to emphasise the interconnection with the human being, viewed as a human animal. Using this terminology does not avoid a homogenising, stereotyping and simplifying of a multiplicity of animal (and human) beings. Nonetheless, we think that…

Piotrowski, Marcelina – Environmental Education Research, 2020
Subjectification in environmental movement education comprises an influx of more-than-human 'others,' including the classical elements: air, water, earth, fire. In this conceptual article, I consider what environmental movement education research, which includes inquiring into processes of political subjectification, might entail, when thinking…

Tani, Sirpa – Environmental Education Research, 2017
The article investigates people-environment relationships from the viewpoint of humanistic and cultural geographies and highlights the importance of subjective experiences and emotional place attachment in the construction of environmental attitudes. Some core concepts of these research fields (e.g. "place,"…

Taylor, Affrica – Environmental Education Research, 2017
Interdisciplinary Anthropocene debates are prompting calls for a paradigm shift in thinking about what it means to be human and about our place and agency in the world. Within environmental education, sustainability remains centre stage and oddly disconnected from these Anthropocene debates. Framed by humanist principles, most sustainability…

Rautio, Pauliina; Hohti, Riikka; Leinonen, Riitta-Marja; Tammi, Tuure – Environmental Education Research, 2017
The worry over urban children having lost their connection to nature is most often addressed with either initiatives of reinserting the "child back to nature" or with evidence aiming to prove that the worry is unfounded to begin with. Neither approach furthers our understanding of child-nature relations as continuing transformation of…

Lloro-Bidart, Teresa – Environmental Education Research, 2017
This paper contributes to a nascent conversation in environmental education (EE) research by using ethnographic data and extant theory to develop a feminist posthumanist political ecology of education for theorizing human-animal relations/relationships. Specifically, I (1) engage feminist methodologies and theories; (2) give epistemological and…
