The authors follow two main arguments in their contribution: First, they contend that there is a vital need to connect theories around racism to discussions about the Planetary Ecological Crisis. This is a link that has hardly been addressed in German-speaking social science research on racism. And secondly, they argue for a critical engagement with the workings of racism within Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), an educational field with a strongly normative underpinning that (cl)aims to work for a "better future for all". Questions on how the futurity inherent in this claim and the divisions within the "all" have colonial and racist underpinnings are imperative for an engagement with ESD. (DIPF/Orig.)
Carstensen-Egwuom et al. (2022) studied this question.
