Animals in Environmental Education

Interdisciplinary Approaches to Curriculum and Pedagogy

Teresa Lloro-Bidart | Valerie S. Banschbach

Education / Curricula

This book explores interdisciplinary approaches to animal-focused curriculum and pedagogy in environmental education, with an emphasis on integrating methods from the arts, humanities, and natural and social sciences. Each chapter, whether addressing curriculum, pedagogy, or both, engages with the extant literature in environmental education and other relevant fields to consider how interdisciplinary curricular and pedagogical practices shed new light on our understandings of and ethical/moral obligations to animals. Embracing theories like intersectionality, posthumanism, Indigenous cosmologies, and significant life experiences, and considering topics such as equine training, meat consumption and production, urban human-animal relationships, and zoos and aquariums, the chapters collectively contribute to the field by foregrounding the lives of animals. The volume purposefully steps forward from the historical marginalization of animals in educational research and practice.

Teresa Lloro-Bidart is Assistant Professor in the Liberal Studies Department at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, USA.

Valerie Banschbach is Professor and Chair of the Environmental Studies Program at Roanoke College, USA.
