3. Cutting Nature's Leading Strings: Ecological Disaster at the Heart of Constructivism

- Guest Speaker and Business Meeting

Time and Place
Tuesday, 12 April, 6:15pm - 7:45pm
Le Centre Sheraton Montreal - Jarry

Chair · Bill Hugg · Montana State University

Keynote Speaker
· David Jardine · University of Calgary
"In this presentation I explore the Kantian origins of contemporary constructivism and how it is based on an epoch making transformation of our image of knowledge as a constructive demand placed upon the world. Kant, also, links the failure to cleave to such construction as a form of immaturity. I then explore how the work of Jean Piaget takes up this Kantian legacy and how both thinkers provide us with disturbing images of knowledge that portend demeaning colonial relationships and potential ecological disasters."

4. Re-imagining Ecological/Environmental Education North of 49°
- Symposium

Time and Place
Thursday,
14 April, 4:05pm - 5:35pm
Ritz-Carlton, Montreal - Vice Royal II

Abstract
In response to a continued emphasis on the science of environmental issues within the North American Association of Environmental Education, the Journal of Environmental Education, and the practice of many educators and researchers, this symposium seeks to contribute to the development of a community working to approach environmental education from alternative epistemological or ontological perspectives (e.g., through socio-cultural critique, embodiment, aboriginal perspectives, poststructuralism, ecopsychology, and feminism). In particular, there are a significant number of Canadian scholars who are involved in re-imagining ecological/environmental education, and we intend this symposium to be an opportunity to open discussions around this work.
