The 鈥 a proposed epoch dating from the commencement of significant human impact on the Earth’s geology and ecosystems 鈥 has emerged as a figure of uncertain and precarious futures, requiring new kinds of thought and action. Yet, childhood studies has not engaged deeply with the Anthropocene.
Pacini-Ketchabaw will talk about responses to the Anthropocene within childhood studies and argue that we need to be attentive to place and to engage with educators and children in order to address the social and environmental legacies of settler colonialism.
鈥淚n this talk, I will introduce 鈥榗ommon world pedagogies鈥 as an alternative perspective to neocolonial environmental stewardship approaches, and aspire to reconfigure colonial relations between childhood and nature,鈥 explains Pacini-Ketchabaw.

A professor in early childhood education at Western University, her academic background in early childhood education and current work as a pedagogista are combined with insights from feminist theory, environmental humanities, Indigenous studies and cultural geography. Her interdisciplinary research with educators and young children explores the possibilities of common world pedagogies. These pedagogies support children to pay close attention to place, to other species, and to how we all got to be in the space we share.
