Our two “learning ecologies” are located within: a preschool in Western Sydney; and a girls’ school in the Himalayan mountains of Uttarakhand. These learning ecologies intra-act to create agentic pedagogies, equipping children to care-take themselves and their worlds, affected as they are by the ecological distortions inherent in the Capitalocene. The pedagogies, characterized as “a pedagogy of hope” and as “a pedagogy of love and responsibility” respectively, enable students to meet and respond to the world in ways which reclaim human/nature agency.","PeriodicalId":515099,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Environmental Education","volume":"139 35","pages":"64 - 77"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139452961","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I demonstrate how the Deleuzoguattarian concept of the refrain helps reconfigure the function of ‘sustainability’ as an affective force of unstable-stabilizing when facing increasingly violent climate crisis events. Currently, ecological education and ‘sustainability’ are presented as solutions to these effects. How ‘sustainable’ something is, is increasingly used as a standard to expound its virtues – especially in the marketing of products, consumables, and energy. However, aligning with eco-feminist new material critiques, I propose that sustainability has sedimented into a regime of inertia, functioning to perpetuate practices known to be harmful to the environment as an order-word of stoppage. This paper offers new perspectives to problems presented in the language of environmental education, in order to suggest radical reimaginings for practice in the development of pedagogy capable of harnessing the chaos of climate crisis.","PeriodicalId":515099,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Environmental Education","volume":"134 51","pages":"26 - 37"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139453144","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The statement that this article rests upon is that the Capitalocene is the driver of environmental damage on Earth today. Hence, if ESE is to have any impact it must address the Capitalocene as a matter of urgency. The Capitalocene is defined as a recent offshoot of the Anthropocene, wherein the processes of capital have captured the human population and led to the consequent capitalist human society as being primarily responsible for detrimentally altering the environment. To enable change in the Capitalocene, this article investigates the unconscious drives that have created the Anthropocene (and hence the Capitalocene) and invents a novel approach to ESE based on dark theory.","PeriodicalId":515099,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Environmental Education","volume":"33 2","pages":"1 - 12"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139452456","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In environmental and sustainability education, imagination has been previously called upon as a way to sympathetically engage learners in environmental issues or to conjure alternative futures. But what other possibilities does imagination entail? We open this paper by arguing that to address the entanglements produced by the Capitalocene, imagination could be conceived of as thoroughly exploring and describing the assemblages in which particular beings exist – what we call imagining well. Next, we introduce and develop this idea of imagining well and proceed by experimenting with it in the honeybee-almond assemblage. To conclude, we offer five multispecies movements as practical and conceptual tools to environmental and sustainability education, to be used separately or in combination to attend to environmental issues within the constraints of educational institutions.","PeriodicalId":515099,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Environmental Education","volume":"129 6","pages":"38 - 51"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139453391","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Indeed, capitalism and the housing market are interlinked because property is an asset whose indexed value upholds global markets. On the other side of property as real estate is the environmental damage and augmentation of climate change that housing represents - mostly in advanced, technological societies. This paper attends to capital investment in housing as the Capitalocene and subsequently through environmental education according to environmental and social principles (social ecology). This article examines what is offered in the Australian curriculum for pre-tertiary and university students in terms of sustainable housing and uses the latest in sustainable housing research and practice to provide a new, visionary basis for environmental education, that tackles housing through 3D printing. The current Australian curriculum on sustainable housing centers on the ‘Illawarra Flame’ house (University of Wollongong), that presents a retrofitting solution to improve the quality of life of the occupants. Illawarra Flame house is a net-zero, energy-efficient, solar powered house which provides the tenants with thermal comfort. This article expands and updates the data on sustainable housing from the ‘Illawarra Flame’ house to 3D printing and applies the principles of social ecology to make a link with environmental education that deals with the Capitalocene by offering affordable and sustainable housing.","PeriodicalId":515099,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Environmental Education","volume":"136 50","pages":"13 - 25"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139453293","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Understanding waste as an embodiment and offspring of ongoing colonial relations in the Capitalocene, I explore how ESE could perform a string figure with a wasted world by decolonizing more-than-human relationships. The intersections and tensions between colonialism, waste, and ESE are investigated, with a focus on the de/colonization of waste and child. Then, I integrate them with Korean stories in which wasted beings unsettle dumping colonialism and renew their entanglements with a more-than-human world. From their interpretation emerges a polysemous metaphor of waste-child as ambivalent figures and relations of a ruined world. The metamorphosis of waste-child suggests an imaginary praxis of becoming waste and feral, affirming ambiguity and liminality. I propose the futurity of ESE joining in the intertwinement of planetary legacy and colonial debris by multispecies critters for their un/common decolonization.","PeriodicalId":515099,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Environmental Education","volume":"139 46","pages":"78 - 89"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139452908","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The theme of the unit, called B-more or Baltimore, is that Baltimore City has qualities and problems similar to those of other urban areas but is also unique. 908 students exposed to the B-more unit and 205 controls participated in the evaluation in the fall of 1978. Gathering of demographic information on students participating in the evaluation was restricted. The impact of the B-more unit was measured along knowledge, attitude and behavior dimensions through written questionnaires and verbal interview questions. The unit was found to have succeeded in increasing knowledge about Baltimore's resources, increasing ability to utilize these resources, and teaching basic population and urban concepts. Students exposed to the B-more unit were more knowledgeable about their urban environment as illustrated by mapping tasks, and the majority reported that they had learned things that were new and/or important to them from the curriculum. B-more students had more positive attitudes toward the Baltimore suburbs than control students and more negative attitudes toward population growth. Little evidence was noted of changes in behavior resulting from the B-more unit. Recommendations are offered for strengthening the B-more unit and its impact on students.","PeriodicalId":515099,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Environmental Education","volume":"12 4","pages":"14-20"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"1981-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/00958964.1981.9942637","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"22009632","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
