Learning to Confront Ecological Precarity

This volume presents innovative pedagogical approaches to tackle environmental precariousness and socio-ecological inequality within the Outdoor Environmental Education (OEE) context. Through experimentation with alternative pedagogical possibilities, it explores what OEE can do in response to ecological precarity.

It focuses on more-than-human pedagogies that foster affirmative relationships with the natural world while challenging problematic cultural perspectives. The 11 chapters cover various topics, including waste education, technology and the movement's influence on environmental learning, and collaborative writing as ecological inquiry.

This book provides practical examples and conceptual creativity to extend contemporary theoretical currents. It offers innovative pedagogical strategies and methodological insights for outdoor and environmental education. Researchers, students, and practitioners of outdoor education interested in applying posthumanist ideas to their work will find this volume most interesting.
