Attached as a .pdf is a draft of the third essay of my trilogy of summer work mixing forms of counterstorytelling and ecopedagogy. It is for a forthcoming book called Epistemologies of Ignorance and the Study of Limits in Education by Information Age Publishing.

As always, any comments are welcome and of course much appreciated.

No rush...

Richard

a quick note to say thanks for the kind words and feedback. you're too nice to me as i know that the work is only an initial foray into some new ideas and definitely not flawless! i was interested to see how some of the stories went over though and if they did illuminate the theory in a constructive manner and so i will take it from your comment that at least some of them seem to move in that direction, which is very helpful for me to know. i was also interested to see how the ideas of microaggressions and microinequities went over for people on this topic -- having borrowed them from critical race theory. while probably not a major epiphany, it did occur to me that this methodological critique of CRT was applicable to ecopedagogy. i don't know of anyone working in env. or ecological education drawing upon these concepts...
