Science Education in the Anthropocene

KMF 2019

The purpose of this grant is to support open-access publishing the edited collection Reimagining Science Education in the Anthropocene Volume 1. This volume attempts to re-imagine the kind of science pedagogies/knowledge/practices needed to face impending ecological and social precarity. The work in the volume recasts science education as transdisciplinary, justice-oriented, and open to many possibilities. The volume is being published by Palgrave Macmillian and you can find the full text to Volume 1 here. The funds from this knowledge mobilization grant have enabled this book to be distributed widely to science educators globally without fees.
