title = "Critical science education for the Anthropocene",
abstract = "The primary purpose of science education has been the subject of long-standing debate. Much of the contention has focused on whose interests science education should serve, and what and whose knowledge should count in science education. The unprecedented socioscientific and sociopolitical crises of the Anthropocene call for a new and more radical science education that diverts students from scientific reductionism and Cartesian dualism. This entry draws on scholarship in science education, critical theory, decolonial and anti-colonial theory and feminist theory to articulate a vision for critical, liberatory science education that is driven by pluriversality, collectivism, solidarity and ethics.",
