Description
Book SynopsisChallenges the field of social studies education to think differently about the precarious status of the world (climate crisis, racial equity, Indigenous sovereignty). By cultivating a greater sense of attunement to the more-than-human, educators and scholars can foster more ethical ways of teaching, learning, researching, being, and becoming.
