  • More about Ecosophy and Educational Research for the Anthropocene: Rethinking Research through Relational Psychoanalytic Approaches


Ecosophy and Educational Research for the Anthropocene emphasizes the importance of relational psychoanalytic theory in studying and practicing education in the Anthropocene. It argues that dominant educational theory fails to acknowledge climate precarity and the consequences of living beyond the Earth's carrying capacity. The author proposes a turn to relational and psychoanalytically informed educational research to foster eco-attunement and ecosophical educational research.

The Anthropocene has brought forth a pressing need to reexamine the goals of education in light of the climate crisis. This text highlights the significance of relational psychoanalytic theory in understanding and addressing the challenges posed by the climate crisis in education. It emphasizes the shortcomings of dominant educational theories that fail to acknowledge the urgent threat of climate change and its impact on human life. Ecosophy and Educational Research for the Anthropocene advocates for a shift in scholarly focus towards decentring the human subject and recognizing the interconnectedness of all beings.

The author explores the evolution of intersubjective psychoanalysis to argue for a shift towards relational and psychoanalytically informed educational research. Chapters provide valuable insights for educational researchers to explore the affective dimensions of curriculum and pedagogy, aiming to foster eco-attunement and ecosophical educational research (EER). By adopting an ecosophical approach, this book empowers educational leaders, researchers, and educators to engage in educational practices that are contextually responsive, relationally attuned, and aware of our profound connection to the planet.

The text concludes by emphasizing the ethical imperative of educators to align their work with the urgent needs of the Anthropocene. It calls upon them to embrace a holistic and interdisciplinary perspective, integrating knowledge from various fields to develop sustainable and resilient educational systems that promote the well-being of both individuals and the planet.
