Pedagogy of Permaculture and Food Justice
Luna, Jody M.; Dávila, Erica R.; Reynoso-Morris, Alyssa
Educational Foundations, v31 n1-2 p57-85 Spr-Sum 2018
We contend that the pedagogy of permaculture offers radical possibilities. In this article, we share our philosophical underpinnings of the pedagogy of permaculture using a case study of an international service learning project. We offer (1) a literature review creating a case for the use of permaculture with definitions for the ethics and principles, (2) we go deeper into permaculture versus conventional design and pedagogy leading into a (3) case study of a permaculture project: the rationale, design, and implementation of community surveys and a school-based aquaponics unit, then we analyze (4) the possibilities of the "Pedagogy of Permaculture," utilizing permaculture principles to help us think of our practice as critical STEM educators and finally, (5) we focus on the ways permaculture supported our work throughout the experience highlighted in this article. We make a call to you, the reader, to join our movement and apply the Pedagogy of Permaculture to your classrooms and lives.
