Opis

Ideal for researchers at all levels who want to explore more deeply how human learning is shaped and informed by the more-than-human, this book also invites a wider audience into the artful practice of close listening to the many voices of the natural world.

Recenzje

"This book recognises that we need 'new ways of witnessing, interpreting, mulling over, reflecting on, listening to and dialoguing with the human and the more-than-human'. This is not for the purpose of novel research to serve an education industry, but because we need better ethical understandings if we are to seriously address our relationships with the more-than-human world and avert future global catastrophes. Ecoportraiture not only offers improved intellectual knowings, but is also a portal to much needed expanded existential understandings. As befitting of profound and beautiful ideas, it is also beautifully written. It's a book that needs to be read by anyone who is serious about research and anyone who is serious about education." -Dylan Adams, Cardiff Metropolitan University
