But what about the ecological capabilities? Relationality and school-based food gardening in the australian early years learning framework
Reflecting on students' personal and social capabilities is essential for individual and societal benefits. Typically, the focus is on emotional awareness, collaboration, resilience, conflict resolution, and learning to function within school settings. However, there is little emphasis on building ecological capabilities. As we face climate uncertainty, understanding how to exist in a changing world is crucial, and developing ecological capabilit…
Understanding environmental generational amnesia through urban school garden learning experiences in Gimuy/Cairns, Australia
This paper explores the potential role of school garden learning experiences in remediating Environmental Generational Amnesia (EGA). EGA is a generational type of environmental forgetting brought about by prolonged disconnection from ‘natural’ landscapes, with symptoms manifesting as poor motor skills, deficient food origin knowledge, a lack of environmental moral affiliation and undeveloped connections to place. Drawing on interviews with teach…
Pedagogy, place, and food education in Australian schools
Children today have limited food origin awareness. The further we move away from food production practices, the less exposure children have to them, and the more food vulnerable we become. This is especially true for children growing up in urban areas where there is limited space for food gardens. Schools have developed targeted pedagogical approaches to raise food origin awareness, and this paper examines one such attempt in Cairns, Australia. W…
Doing research with busy people
Teachers are busy people. How do we, as researchers, address the challenges of doing research with busy people—especially if we wish to enact ethical, more radical futures? How do we adhere to the pressures of fast-paced urban life when research, especially interviews, takes away people's time? This paper presents a novel method for doing research with busy people, combining the ‘walking interview’ method with a ‘free listing technique.’ The inte…
Building community (gardens) on university campuses
Urban community gardens are well known as safe and friendly spaces that help shape a sense of community. Their capacity to reflect these ideals in the higher education policy sector has been less examined, even though students are particularly well-disposed to reaping the healing benefits of gardens. COVID-19 displaced students and shut down campuses globally. With Australian universities reopening, fostering a sense of community and re-establish…
