To stop the downward spiral of intensifying environmental violence
that inevitably leads to social violence we, as humans, need to better
understand what is at stake and to determine how to make changes at
the root levels. Ecopedagogy is centered on understanding the
struggles of and connections between human acts of environmental and
social violence.
Greg W. Misiaszek argues that ecopedagogies grounded in critical,
Freirean pedagogies construct learning that leads to human actions
geared towards increased social and environmental justice and
planetary sustainability. Throughout the book he discusses the need
for teaching, reading, and researching through problematizing the
causes of socio-environmental violence, including oppressive processes
of globalization and constructs of “development”, “economics”,
and “citizenship”, to name a few, that emerge from
socio-historical oppressions (e.g., colonialization, racism,
patriarchy, neoliberalism, xenophobia, epistemicide) and dominance
over the rest of nature. Misiaszek concludes with ecopedagogies'
challenges within the current post-truth era and possibilities of
reimagining UNESCO's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
