Abstract

what are our tasks and responsibilities as curriculum scholars in addressing the ecological crisis facing life on the planet? is there any possibility for post-imperialist post-development post-progress education in the prevailing schooling systems that are grounded in Euro-centric anthropocentric neoliberal knowledge systems? how might traditional ecological knowings of Indigenous Peoples worldwide contribute to holistic education that values human non-human and more-than-human intelligences and agencies? this paper presents a theoretical framework to discuss these questions.
