PIMA Climate Justice Education Teach-In Series

14 September and 5 October 2023
Co-hosted by PIMA, ALA, CASAE, SCUTREA, MOJA
INVITATION TO A TWO-PART TEACH-IN: Towards a pluriverse of possibilities: unlearning separation, re-learning relationality
Facilitators: Elizabeth Lange

Description:
The world as we know it is not sustainable. To change these realities, we need to dig deep to the very roots of Western thinking – this is a big story of alternative worldmaking at every level. This includes how we live, work, produce and distribute food, water, and energy.

This set of two participatory workshops encourages us to rebuild understandings of the inter-connectedness of everything so that we reignite relationships with one another and the planet. Instead of continuing to exploit the natural world we nurture and sustain it.

Through dialogue we will question: how and why did we lose our connectivity, our kinship with other living beings, our own embodiedness; and how do we unlearn separation and relearn relationality? As educators and activists, how do we generate a pluriverse of possibilities?

Workshop One will focus on Relearning kinship ethics – this is based on understanding the shift from modernity to relationality; Workshop Two will focus on Composting Modernity, using past values and ethics to ‘compost’ practical possibilities for transformative practice.

Dates: 14 September and 5 October 2023
Time: Canada-Pacific Time 10h00; SAST 19h00
Length: 2 hours

The workshops will be led by Dr Elizabeth Lange, author of the inspiring book (2023), Transformative Sustainability Education: Reimagining our Future. This book lays out the principles and practices of transformative sustainability education using a relational way of thinking and being.

We invite you to commit to both workshops and register in advance:

Background:

This Teach-In series is a continuation of the PIMA webinars on Climate Justice Education which have run since 2020 in collaboration with the Canadian Association for Studies in Adult Education (CASAE), Adult Learning Australia (ALA), Standing Conference on University Teaching and Research in Education of Adults (SCUTREA), and MOJA African Adult Education Network. The webinars have fed into two special editions of the PIMA Bulletin 39 (Nov 21), 45 (Jan 23) January 2023 Bulletin TOC | PIMA Network – they both provide useful background to the Teach-In.

PIMA Webinar Series: Climate Justice and Adult Learning and Education (ALE)

13 October 2021
Co-hosted by PIMA, ALA, CASAE, SCUTREA
Ecofeminism makes sense. Towards life-affirming Adult Learning and Education (ALE)
Host: Shirley Walters, PIMA President
Moderators: Joy Polanco O’Neil and Astrid von Kotze
Speakers: Jacklyn Cock and Serap Brown

Description:
Climate justice, including social, gender and economic justice, is attained by foregrounding the needs and interests of the people who have contributed least to climate catastrophes yet are most affected by them. Due to unequal patriarchal divisions of labour and exploitative practices, the majority of women around the world carry primary responsibility for putting food on the table and taking care of ecosystems, families and communities. Ecological breakdown, capitalism and patriarchy are closely inter-linked and undergird the environmental catastrophe that is unfolding. Ecofeminism, a discourse that began in the late 1980s, remains a useful theoretical framework because it refuses to separate entangled dimensions of life. It presents a change in paradigm from separation to interconnectedness, from the mechanistic and reductionist to the relational and holistic. This webinar will explore ecofeminism – its theory and practice – and in particular, its application to the principles and practices of a life-affirming ALE.

PIMA Webinar Series: Climate Justice and Adult Learning and Education (ALE)

25 May 2021
Resilience or rebellion? Exploring ‘resilience’ and climate justice: challenges for ALE
Host: Shirley Walters, PIMA President
Moderators: Joy Polanco O’Neil and Astrid von Kotze
Speaker: Odirilwe Selomane
Commentators: Mela Chiponda, Eurig Scandrett, and Mercy Kappen

Description:
In these times of extreme precarity, a new buzzword is ‘resilience’. In combination with adjectives resilience means many different things to different constituencies across the natural and social sciences, ranging from absorptive to adaptive; restorative to transformative resilience. This webinar explores different interpretations of resilience and outlines a variety of resilience capacities in the context of climate justice. We pose the questions: how do we as adult educators understand and utilise the concept of ‘resilience’? What understandings of `resilience’ are most useful and generative in the collective struggles towards climate justice?

Kitchen Table Talk Series

Diversity and Inclusion: Are organizations doing the right things?
Host: Cindy Russell

Description:
Organizations have strived to make a difference around diversity and inclusion, but is it working? Many say no. Common practices include setting up a diversity office, hiring a Director of Diversity, creating pamphlets, videos, and asking staff to participate in diversity training. Is this making a difference? Let’s look at what some researchers are saying and share experiences from the field. What are some of the unintended consequences that are emerging from these efforts?
