The Quest to Cultivate an Ecocritical Awareness in Educational Technology Scholarship: A Question of Disciplinary Focus in the Age of Environmental Crisis
British Journal of Educational Technology, v54 n6 p1878-1894 Nov 2023
Although many academic disciplines are now experiencing a process of "greening" as scholars seek to cultivate an ecocritical awareness within disciplinary scholarship, Neil Selwyn notes that such ecocritical concerns rarely feature in the field of educational technology. In this paper, I bring Selwyn's call for ecocritical awareness in the field of educational technology into conversation with emerging scholarly discussions in the fields of ecojustice ethics, ecojustice education, and information and communications technology sustainability. In so doing, I expand the existing conversation about the environmental impact of educational technology consumption to argue that the process of cultivating an ecocritical awareness in the field of educational technology requires refining the discipline's focus to include the full lifespan of educational technology devices and the global inequities that feature during the production and disposal of these devices.
