When students begin organising with Indigenous communities and join their intergenerational calls for justice with the calls for Indigenous rights and sovereignty, collective resistance opens up opportunities to learn about the history and continuance of colonization and its role in leading us to this moment of climate crisis

The final podcast of our 6-Part series on Teaching in the Anthropocene.

This new critical volume presents various perspectives on teaching and teacher education in the face of the global climate crisis, environmental degradation, and social injustice. Teaching in the Anthropocene calls for a reorientation of the aims of teaching so that we might imagine multiple futures in which children, youths, and families can thrive amid a myriad of challenges related to the earth’s decreasing habitability.

The Authors

Jenalee Kluttz, Ph.D

Jenalee Kluttz, Ph.D. An educator-activist and community organizer, Jenalee is passionate about climate and ecological justice. She brings this passion into her work at the University of British Columbia where she researches social movements for climate and environmental justice, the learning that takes place in and through social action, as well as education for sustainability more broadly. At the center of her work is the recognition that she lives as a settler on lands that are the traditional, unceded territory of the x?m?θk??y??m (Musqueam), S?wx?wú7mesh (Squamish), and s?lilw?ta? (Tsleil-Waututh), and thus much of her research and writing focuses on decolonizing climate action.
