REPORT


Touchstones for Deterritorializing Socioecological Learning “This important book comes as daily news cycles consistently report “catastrophic” events in Earth’s new geostory—the Anthropocene. Amy Cutter-­ Mackenzie-­Knowles and her team of editors gather leading educational thinkers to contemplate an uncertain future. In the face of epochal change they assert that we will not adapt by using old habits of mind and old ways of being. As touchstones, the anthropocene, posthumanism and common worlds guide educators into a creative learning milieu: examining new relationships with Earth; permeating boundaries that separate human and more-than-human worlds; moving beyond stewardship ethics; enacting flatter more equitable ways of being; developing new forms of literacy to decode today’s world. A vital book for our times.” —Professor Emeritus Bob Jickling, Lakehead University, Canada “Often we come across terms that challenge us to re-think the touchstone ideas that shape how we can live, think, and be in the world. Terms such as Anthropocene and Posthumanism are some of the more illuminating and perplexing of our contemporary world. Having a text that explores these terms set in the contexts of teaching and learning in our social and ecological challenges has to be useful and instructive for those who want to re-think (and deterritorialise) the learning opportunities we frame for our students and ourselves. Thank you to the authors for coalescing around these obligatory and unpalatable ideas to help us find intentional acts of resistance and ways towards respecting the interrelationship of all things.” —Dr Peta White, Faculty of Education, Deakin University, Australia
