Critical Education and Sociomaterial Practice presents a situated
approach to learning that suggests the need for more explicit
attention to sociomaterial practice in critical education.
Specifically, it explores social, place and narrative dimensions of
practical experience as they unfold in schools, in place-based
learning, and teacher education contexts. Such an orientation to
practice both links social and material conditions (social
relations, other species, physical context, objects) to human
consciousness and learning, and considers the relationship between
such learning and broader cultural change. The core of the book is
an examination of critical situated learning undertaken through
three separate empirical studies, each of which we use to elaborate
a particular domain or dimension of practical experience. In
turning to the sociomaterial contexts of learning, the book also
underscores how social and environmental issues are necessarily
linked, such as in the production of food deserts in cities or in
the pollution of the drinking water in Indigenous communities
through oil development. More social movements globally are
connecting the dots between sexism, heteronormativity, racism,
colonization, White privilege, globalization, poverty, and climate
justice, including with issues of land, territory and sovereignty,
water, food, energy, and treatment and extinction of other species.
As a result, categorizing some concerns as 'social justice' or
'critical' issues and others as 'environmental,' becomes
increasingly untenable. The book thus suggests that more
integrative and productive forms of critical education are needed
to respond to these complex and pressing socio-ecological
conditions.
