This book conceptualizes ecopedagogies as forms of educational innovation and critique that emerge from, negotiate, debate, produce, resist, and/or overcome the shifting and expansive postdigital ecosystems of humans, machines, nonhuman animals, objects, stuff, and other forms of matter. Contemporary postdigital ecosystems are determined by a range of new bioinformational reconfigurations in areas including capitalism, imperialism, settler-colonialism, and ontological hierarchies more generally. Postdigital ecopedagogies name a condition, a question, and a call for experimentation to link pedagogical research and practice to challenges of our moment. They pose living, breathing, expanding, contracting, fluid, and spatial conditions and questions of our non-chronological present. This book presents analyses of that present from a wide spectrum of disciplines, including but not limited to education studies, philosophy, politics, sociology, arts, and architecture.
“The new book Postdigital Ecopedagogies: Genealogies, Contradictions, and Possible Futures … may bring solace to a reader who feels jaded and overwhelmed by current environmental and sociopolitical crises. The overall direction of the book is optimistic. … The book … offers the possibility of exodus- through reconfiguration of alternatives-and postdigital ecopedagogies will be key in supporting that, along with knowledge about how we got here and what is constraining us from seeing the alternatives.” (Christine Sinclair, Postdigital Science and Education, Vol. 4 (3), 2022)
