Description
Summary:In my research I explore how practices of eco-poetic inquiry can support learners in developing ecological literacy by deepening their relationships with the Earth. Using examples from courses I teach in language and literacies at the secondary level in a teacher education program in Saskatchewan, I examine how eco-poetic practices also foster joy in this learning.
