ABSTRACT

Today humanity is facing a sixth mass extinction: the first in 65 million years. The extinction underway is occurring at a rate faster than any previous mass extinction in Earth’s history. Our current forms of extraction economics, overproduction, and consumption are not just unsustainable – they are literally annihilationist towards our biosphere. They endanger the very fabric of life in our planet. Yet to imagine a redesign is nearly impossible for many who currently benefit from such systems. Where does the knowledge and critical consciousness for how to reimagine new systems of living reside? Two questions guide our research: 1) Can education play a role in redesigning such systems? 2) How do resistance movements and their associated forms of education help us reconsider the imaginaries of what is possible? Specifically, we explore the ways in which activist has evolved into a form of education, particularly through its engagement in non-formal education.

摘要

今天，人类面临着第六次灭绝：6500万年来的第一次灭绝。灭绝的速度比地球历史上任何一次大规模灭绝的速度都快。我们当前的开采经济学，过度生产和消费形式不仅不可持续，而且实际上是对我们生物圈的an灭。它们危害着我们星球生命的基础。然而，想像一下，对于许多目前受益于此类系统的人来说，重新设计几乎是不可能的。如何重新构想新的生活系统的知识和批判意识存放在哪里？有两个问题可以指导我们的研究：1）教育可以在重新设计此类系统中发挥作用吗？2）抵抗运动及其相关的教育形式如何帮助我们重新考虑可能的假想？具体来说，
