Rezensionen

"This book is an exciting international exploration of how EcoJustice Education can, and must, intersect with Art and Art Education in order to address the devastating ecological crises in which we find ourselves. This collection gives educators much-needed resources to begin to understand how we can use art to creatively intervene in the harmful assumptions and practices that are impacting humans and the more-than-human world."

Alison Happel-Parkins, University of Memphis, USA

"This book offers strong ecocritical perspectives that reframe dominant assumptions in Western industrial culture. This timely anthology pushes EcoJustice scholars and educators to think-and feel-beyond the human-centered confines of the modernist assumptions constituting 'what is' and the possibilities of 'what ought to be' in regards to the role of art, and artistry, in re-imagining education."

John Lupinacci, Washington State University, USA
