Event Details
The Interdisciplinary Centre for Research in Curriculum invites members of Western’s community to participate in a series of experimental and speculative events designed to make us think with and act towards ecological justice in the context of curriculum studies. Our provocation will be the special issue of Curriculum Inquiry Journal, 52(2), Education and Ecological Precarity: Pedagogical, Curricular, and Conceptual Provocations (2022).
October 20, 2022 @ 2–5pm: A Proposal for Curriculum Studies
We will read together, work through concepts, create connections, and design possible proposals. In advance of this meeting, we invite you to read the editorial to the special issue Education and Ecological Precarity: Pedagogical, Curricular, and Conceptual Provocations by Fikile Nxumalo, Preeti Nayak, and Eve Tuck.
November 24, 2022 @ 2–4pm: Photographic Engagements
We will create a participatory space to think ecological justice through practices of photography. Bring your camera, computer, and preferred photography app.
January 19, 2023 @ 2–4pm: Curriculum Studies in the Kitchen
We will cook together as we chop through and digest the unbearable heaviness of climate coloniality. Bring a plate, drinking glass or mug, fork, knife, spoon, and serviette.
March 23, 2023 @ 2–4pm: Collective Repairs
We will collectively intertwine, through careful stitching on textiles, the concepts, ideas, thoughts and affects embedded within climate coloniality. If you have an ongoing stitching project, feel free to bring it. Otherwise, we will supply the materials for this gathering.
April 20, 2023 @ 2–4pm: Sketching Together
We will engage in a series of collective sketching experimentations as we consider relationship to place. We will supply the materials for this gathering.
May 25, 2023 @ 2–4pm: Writing as a Collective
This event will focus on building concepts in the process of working with words as a collective.
All events are planned as in-person gatherings to be held at the Faculty of Education. Room details will be communicated closer to the meeting date. Because we have planned these events as a consecutive program, we ask that if you register, you commit to the best of your ability to attend all events in the series.
