Project title:

  • Walking with Derbarl Yerrigan: Generating climate change pedagogies through feminist, creative, and experimental walking practices in early childhood

Supervisors:

  • Professor Mindy Blaise
  • Dr Jane Merewether
  • Dr Jo Pollitt

Summary of thesis:

The study explores climate change pedagogies with young children in response to calls for new ways of thinking and producing knowledge in times of rapid environmental change. It is framed by a Common Worlds and Feminist New Materialisms lens and is grounded in feminist philosophy. The research methodology takes an experimentalist orientation through enacting emergent practices that engage propositionally, speculatively, and experimentally with early childhood pedagogy while walking with Derbarl Yerrigan, a river in Western Australia.
