This Special Focus interrogates the intersection of colonial land relations, social consciousness and ecological justice within the field of environmental education. Contributing authors to this volume provide diverse narrative inquiries grounded in anticolonial activism, Land as kin and teacher, Indigenous perspectives in Canada and Australia, Asian Critical Race Theory, Yazidi resilience in Mesopotamia and LGBTQIA+ spatial justice in Bosnia to collectively subvert Eurocentric hierarchies of knowledge. In hacking paradigms of Whiteness and coloniality, this Special Focus reimagines storytelling not as a cathartic cure for the Anthropocene∼Necrocene but as a radical method of intergenerational accountability. Through these diverse narratives, this Special Focus advocates for a pedagogical transformation rooted in becoming-and-belonging-with, offering new worldings for still-possible futures.
