Building on Paulo Freire's educational theory and critical pedagogy
movements, this book provides a short and accessible introduction to
ecopedagogy – Freirean environmental teaching and environmentalism
overall. Ecopedagogy offers a political and educational vision that
strives for a critical, culturally relevant forms of knowledge centred
on sustainability for securing the future of our planet, ending all
forms of oppression, and ensuring peace globally. Using examples from
around the globe, Misiaszek shows how different populations (e.g.,
gender, race, ethnicity) are affected in unbalanced ways by ongoing
environmental destruction and argues that these systematic
socio-environmental inequalities are ignored in much of environmental
teaching. He argues through reinventing Freire's work that
environmental justice is inseparable to social justice and should be
seen as part of wider debates around, for example, globalization,
development, citizenship, racism, feminism, neo/colonialization, and
linguistics. The book calls for global and local approaches to
understanding socio-environmental issues beyond anthropocentric models
(beyond humans) and epistemologies of the North (e.g., Western
knowledges). Written for anyone with an interest in environmentalism
this book offers news ways of thinking and teaching about
environmental crises we are living through.
