Topic: Bringing environmental justice into the classroom: pedagogical commitments, orientations, and possibilities
This keynote offers concepts and pedagogical possibilities for centering anti-racist and anti-colonial approaches in environmental education. Situated within current conditions of inequitably distributed environmental vulnerability, we will discuss the necessity of these approaches. We will share illustrative examples of pedagogical orientations to environmental justice that we engage in each of our respective research and education contexts. Participants will have opportunities for guided critical reflective discussions on how environmental justice pedagogies and commitments can be integrated into their own specific educational contexts.
