Human civilisation stands at an unimaginable precipice. The human past, leading up to today, has seen society develop under the conditions of the Holocene since 10000 BC. However - we are now in the Anthropocene, what Deleuze/Guattari term as the future rupturing the present. This book analyses the Anthropocene given four dimensions: 'tool-enhancement'; 'carbon trail'; 'the phallocene'; and 'atomic-time'. A mode of education and social change lies parallel to this mapping that tackles degrowth, changing consciousness, a Green Utopia, and building a critical-immanent model to realign current practices in the light of globalisation. This is the first book to put the philosophy of Deleuze/Guattari to work for the future, and our collective existence as a differentiated educational practice in the Anthropocene.

"This engaging and timely book showcases practical ways that PreK-12 teachers and school leaders can create and implement sustainability-focused projects and practices in their classrooms and schools, helping promote a healthy, sustainable environment and curriculum for students, and leading the way towards becoming a green school. Sharing real-world case studies and detailed walkthroughs of sustainable schools in action-from Madison, Alabama to Bali, Indonesia-author Linda Plevyak lays out the benefits, principles, and practices of creating a sustainable school, from beginner, classroom projects like creating a garden, recycling, and composting, to more complex and school-wide initiatives like energy audits, creating an environmental management system, engaging with policy, and building and leveraging community partnerships. Plevyak highlights sustainable practices that can be developed with little to no budget, and focuses on those that support the development of critical thinking skills, promote project-based learning, and consider the environment as a learning tool, incorporating sustainability as a natural progression of the learning process. The book outlines extensive resources teachers and schools can use to embed sustainability in their programs and curriculum, offering teachers, school leaders, and policymakers the tools they need to provide this generation of students with the knowledge and skills to create a more sustainable world. Linda H. Plevyak is the Graduate Director of the School of Education and Associate Professor of Curriculum and Instruction at the University of Cincinnati"--

Cet ouvrage étudie la question du droit à une éducation de qualité pour TOUS et le relie à l'Objectif de développement durable 4 pour 2030, adopté par les Nations-Unies en 2015. Ce droit, internationalement reconnu, est-il reconnu et mis en œuvre dans tous les pays avec les mêmes critères et les mêmes normes ? Pratique-t-on en tous lieux une éducation inclusive qui permette à TOUS les enfants d'accéder à une éducation de qualité ? Des chercheurs d'horizons différents (Suisse, Espagne, France, Cameroun, République dominicaine, Colombie...) s'interrogent sur la prise en compte de ce droit fondamental pour les enfants, les adolescents et les jeunes, et en particulier pour les plus vulnérables d'entre eux. Ils font des propositions pour améliorer la situation et pour rendre l'éducation plus inclusive

"Engineering Vulnerability is an ethnography of climate adaptation in Guyana, where different portions of the population experience and understand environmental threats differently. Sarah E. Vaughn focuses on the collaborations between state experts and citizens following the 2005 flood that left 75 percent of the country's population stranded in water, and highlights how government engineers and local villagers each had knowledge that was formed through their racial positioning in the country. While climate adaptation is often seen as primarily a state project, especially in relation to disaster, Vaughn shows that it cannot be understood apart from the multiple histories and relations to the environment that differently position citizens and experts who must work together in the face of climate vulnerability"--
