Rewilding Environmental Communication through Transformative Teaching (original) (raw)

The Handbook of International Trends in Environmental Communication, 2021

Abstract

As a relatively new field of learning, the pedagogy of environmental communication is quickly evolving. Untethered to a single academic tradition of research or teaching, the field can dynamically respond to current tumultuous local and global environmental, social, and political conditions. The sociocultural and ecological focus of the field and its interdisciplinarity, as well as its potential to engage interculturality, make it an exceedingly relevant and applicable international area of study, learning, and practice. The field’s rewilding through inclusion of the more-than-human world additionally expands possibilities for learning and creates avenues to reconsider relations and realities beyond the constraints of anthropocentrism. Whether in the face-to-face classroom, in engaging the opportunities and challenges of learning online, or in experientially learning in the field, an aim that remains central to environmental communication pedagogy is transformative teaching that swiftly and consciously regenerates restorative engagement with our biosphere.
