Transforming education through ecocentric critical thinking
Join this event to hear Joffy Conolly challenge the dominant, human-centric narrative in education.
Transforming education through ecocentric critical thinking
13 Dec 2023, 12:30 – 14:00
In this webinar, Joffy will examine what it means to think critically if we adopt ecocritical, multispecies and more-than-human approaches, and how this might transform pedagogy and education in practice.
He will discuss the concept of critical thinking in education and human-centric assumptions that underpin Western education. Participants will be invited to review and discuss some practical teaching materials and tools that could be used to think 'eco'-critically in higher education.
The webinar is designed to be interactive, and attendees are encouraged to suggest relevant topics and questions for discussion.
This online event will be particularly useful for researchers and teachers.
