"Childist Discomfort with Pedagogy: Aren't we schooling towards intergenerational injustice?"

Tues., December 7, 18:15 – 20:00 CET/12:15 – 2:00pm Eastern

Abstract:

The speaker reflects on the role of schooling and pedagogy in ensuring intergenerational climate justice as a response to contemporary children and youth's climate activism. The goal driving rapid global developments in the schooling sector is not intergenerational sustainability. On the contrary, misopedy (adultism) seems foundational to accelerated industrial growth, requiring standardized schooling to produce 'future human capital'. Therefore, the question arises: Aren't we schooling towards intergenerational injustice?
