Making a Cene

Part III

Focusing Questions

  • What pedagogies?
  • What typifies Holocene pedagogy?
  • What might typify an Anthropocene pedagogy?

Summary

Primary informed by critical education studies, new cultural anthropology, and various inflections within the humanities (including scientific, environmental, and artistic humanities), I outline and juxtapose the key contours of both Holocene and Anthropocene pedagogies. Finally, I argue that educational systems urgently need Anthropocene pedagogies attendant to the full scope and scale of the radically–and demonstrably–altered relationship between humans and the Earth. This is a call for a world-centered pedagogy, but for an Anthropocenic rather than a Holocenic world.

"We need a different way to live, think, and assemble in this new era--nothing less than a philosophy for the end of the world will do. We need to consider this moment of transition in a way that sharpens our understanding of it, touches us, and introduces the possibility of a different future."
