- Description
- As a contribution to discussions about how ESE research respond to increasing urgency and climate emergencies, this essay discusses the relation between education and the pursuit of societal transformation with a view to questions of socio-ecological justice. Our research interest centers on young children’s participation and voice, on the inequalities which constitute barriers to this participation, and on the potentials of a more fine-tuned pedagogy which listens to children’s voices and their relations with the non-human environment in our research practices. This listening is a radical process of unlearning and rethinking ‘urgency’. The essay is based on an ongoing dialogue about how research on sustainability education might respond to the voices of children in marginalized positions across two very different geographical and socio-cultural settings–the Danish welfare state and post-apartheid South Africa (see James and Jørgensen, forthcoming). Here we draw attention to the dangers of assumptions underlying urgency (dualism and instrumentalism) and the voices of young children in research as a practice that resists these dangers.
