Thinking Education Relationally | Why Ontology Matters for Education

What kind of world do our educational practices assume into existence? In this opening episode of Thinking Education Relationally, we introduce the Erasmus+ project More Than Human and explain why ontology, the study of what exists, matters for sustainability education in higher education. Climate change is not only technical or environmental. It is also a crisis of worldview. How we understand reality shapes how we teach, learn, and distribute responsibility. Rather than offering quick fixes, we focus on the assumptions that shape educational responses to ecological crisis. This sets up the series’ move toward relational worldviews and more-than-human perspectives.
