Making Relatives as Pedagogy: Unsettling Universities Towards Human Maturation

The active, living presence of Land is regularly left out of most designs of teaching and learning.This article asks us to unsettle the assumptions and normative logics of so-called "higher" education and to breathe dissonance and radical relationship with Land into our disciplines.Radical relationalities bring us closer to individual and collective well-being.We demonstrate shared pedagogical design principles across two sub-disciplines of education and course content areas and highlight tensions and future possibilities.Cultivating a relational, Land-based pedagogy is possible in every discipline and can propel us and our students toward human maturation and meaningful coexistence.
