The future is ecotransfeminist, posthuman and decolonial (or it’s not)

Abstract

Since social and environmental issues are deeply interconnected, the need arises for an intersectional approach both to understanding the oppressions on social groups and on the more-than-human, and to developing pedagogical and political reflections on these matters. Education for sustainable development is insufficient and problematic as it neither reveals nor deconstructs the root of the issue; it is necessary and urgent to start from the margins, to learn from Indigenous Studies, and to decolonialize knowledges and powers. Such an ecotransfeminist approach can be pedagogically applied through a posthuman and compostist education which – also through experiential contact with nature – promotes relationships of care towards human and more-than-human others.
