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…

Pulkki, Jani – Environmental Education Research, 2023
An attitude of: (1) metaphysics of mastery is a major ecological problem accompanied; with (2) scientism, which considers all reality is understood with one form of knowledge acquisition, that of classical experimental science. In this article, I consider the two ideas of Michael Bonnett from a virtue ethical perspective. I propose that…

Affifi, Ramsey – Environmental Education Research, 2023
Many educational approaches to the ecological crisis posit fundamental causes that we can conceptually isolate and address. For instance, it is often claimed that a certain kind of manipulative or mechanistic way of thinking is responsible for the destruction underway. However, to say 'mechanistic' thinking caused the crisis itself risks thinking…

This paper explains Feeling and Hearing Country as an Australian Indigenous practice whereby water is life, Country is responsive, and Elders generate wisdom for a communicative order of things.

Smith, David E. K. – Environmental Education Research, 2022
The academic idea of a community of practice--a group of people who come together to share and learn from one another--has been used to understand learning structures in a wide array of fields. This conceptual framework, however, is rooted in human exceptionalism, considering anything other-than-human to be a resource instead of an active and…

Van Poeck, Katrien – Environmental Education Research, 2019
This article focuses on environmental and sustainability education (ESE) in the context of the topical post-truth debate. It aims to progress theoretical research as well as empirical investigations on how ESE practices can avoid the pitfalls involved in an objectivist as well as a relativist approach to teaching and learning. After elaborating…

Hecht, Marijke; Nelson, Taiji – Environmental Education Research, 2022
In this paper, we explore relational processes between and among three key learning ecosystem actors -- youth, educators, and more-than-human beings -- as a unit of analysis for understanding a specific type of environmental identity development: a 21st century naturalist. Our conceptualization of these relational processes aims to knit together…

Chang, David – Environmental Education Research, 2020
Much of the current literature on environmental education links the outdoors with experiences of "wonder," which connotes a range of experiences from fascination to curiosity, excitement to delight. Most of these associations fall within a nexus of positive valences that render the discourse of wonder in glowing light. However,…

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…

Tillmanns, Tanja – Environmental Education Research, 2020
Since sustainability is subjective and context dependent, sustainability education should focus on the development of a personal understanding of sustainability through critical reflection of values and behaviour. Emotions can motivate value clarification -- a prerequisite to transform worldviews and behaviour. The article presents the disruptive…

Aedo, María Paz; Peredo, Santiago; Schaeffer, Colombina – Environmental Education Research, 2019
Adult education in political ecology entails critically and constructively observing the interactions among the actors involved in socioecological conflicts at global and local scales. This definition invites transcending environmental education and education for sustainability's frontiers, examining the ontology, or the 'place', from where actors…

Dike, Felix Okechukwu; Ugwuanyi, Christian Sunday – Environmental Education Research, 2022
Transformative Learning Theory is instrumental in fostering sustained positive change in adult learners as it explains how critical reflection in crystallization processes results in emancipatory learning. Despite its relevance, there is no reliable approach that can systematically produce Transformational Learning for sustainability purposes.…
