Chinn, C; Tan, E.; Chan, C.; Kali, Y. (Ed.)Socio-ecological histories of places are political, contested, and intimately linked with ways of knowing and being in the world. Supporting students in perspective taking and reasoning through contested histories of places are equity practices that allow for multiple and diverse stories to be told, honored, and incorporated in science learning. In this paper, we describe an approach to teaching about socio ecological systems from the Learning in Places project using a framework called Socioecological Histories of Places. We first describe the framework and its design within the Learning in Places project. We then analyze one teacher’s implementation of this approach and discuss implications for understanding issues of power, historicity, and ethical decision-making in field-based science learning and teaching.more » « less

Despite decades of climate science research, existing climate actions have had limited impacts on mitigating climate change. Efforts to reduce emissions, for example, have yet to spur sufficient action to reduce the most severe effects of climate change. We draw from our experiences as Ojibwe knowledge holders and community members, scientists, and scholars to demonstrate how the lack of recognition of traditional knowledges (TK) within climate science constrains effective climate action and exacerbates climate injustice. Often unrecognized in science and policy arenas, TK generates insights into how justice-driven climate action, rooted in relational interdependencies between humans and older-than-human relatives, can provide new avenues for effectively addressing climate change. We conclude by arguing for a shift toward meaningful and respectful inclusion of plural knowledge systems in climate governance.more » « less
