‘More Crucial’ Matters: Reclaiming ‘Sustainability’ and Transcending the Rhetoric of ‘Choice’ through Ecofeminist Pedagogy
This paper advances a theory for ecofeminist sustainability pedagogy.
The need to adapt to a world of diminishing resources is central to
ecofeminism, sustainability, and permaculture, and for this reason, the
integration of principles drawn from these theoretical frameworks can
serve as a powerful means of transforming what is taught in the
classroom and beyond. Permaculture offers a conceptual map for moving
forward in a holistic and integrative way by cultivating long-term
systems thinking and situating human behaviors and practices within a
local-global framework with social justice at its core. An ecofeminist
sustainability pedagogy advocates empowered citizenship and inspires
students to assume responsibility for their own choices, while fostering
new approaches to culture change.
