Teaching with Plants as Liberatory Practice: Posthuman Pedagogies and The Sociological Imagination

This article discusses the design, teaching and student assessment developed for ‘More than Human Politics’, a third-year undergraduate module, which is currently about the environmental, social and political significance of plants. Drawing on feminist pedagogies aligned with new materialism and posthumanism, this article reports on experiments with plants in the classroom that cultivate modes of navigating climate (and other) crises while championing a new, more than human and decolonial sociological imagination.
