Abstract
ABSTRACT This article provides a descriptive account of the workings of an Indigenous-led teacher training initiative in the Peruvian Amazon (Formabiap) and considers the extent of its transdisciplinary pedagogic approach, with a special focus on the ontological and epistemological stakes of intercultural knowledge exchanges in the context of contemporary global challenges. The article evaluates the extent to which Indigenous pedagogical projects can sustain inter-species relationships that promote a good life in which diverse species, including both humans and plants, can flourish. To extol the potential of Formabiap’s 35 year plus Indigenous rights initiative, the authors forward the notion of biosocial pedagogy, a heuristic device that helps value the consubstantial, and relationally entangled epistemologies of Indigenous Life-worlds.
期刊介绍:
The Oxford Review of Education is a well established journal with an extensive international readership. It is committed to deploying the resources of a wide range of academic disciplines in the service of educational scholarship, and the Editors welcome articles reporting significant new research as well as contributions of a more analytic or reflective nature. The membership of the editorial board reflects these emphases, which have remained characteristic of the Review since its foundation. The Review seeks to preserve the highest standards of professional scholarship in education, while also seeking to publish articles which will be of interest and utility to a wider public, including policy makers.
