In this article I highlight an area that has received minimal attention within that conversation: aesthetics and activism. While activism can beenacted at the personal and public levels, I focus on the personal level of activism as I discuss links between everyday aesthetics and activism and the importance of cultivating an aesthetic sensibility. I then share narrative, poetic, and photographic excerpts from a mapwork project titled Bodies of Water: Partial Companion toa Prairie Atlas. This project enacts aesthetics and activism on a local, everyday level, and has implications for the global, public level. I invite educators to consider similar approaches to activism by paying attention to local ecological components.  \nRésumé  \nLes éducateurs débattentrégulièrement de laplace de l’activisme dans l’éducation à l’environnement. Ces conversations ont tendance à laisser dans l’ombre la relation entre activisme et esthétique, relation que je me propose de mettre en lumière ici. Si l’activisme peut aussi se déployer dans la sphère publique, je m’intéresse surtout à sa place dans la sphère personnelle et à ses liens avec l’esthétique du quotidien. En quoi, par exemple, l’activisme nourrit-il la sensibilité esthétique? Je présente également des passages poétiques et narratifs, de même que des clichés photographiques tirés d’un projet cartographique intitulé Bodies of Water : Partial Companion to a Prairie Atlas. Ce projet met de l’avant différentes manifestations locales et quotidiennes de l’activisme et de l’esthétique, qui ont aussi une incidence dans la sphère publique, de manière plus vaste.J’invite les éducateurs à considérer ce type d’approches en portant attention aux composantes écologiques locales.  \nKeywords: aesthetic sensibility, everyday aesthetics, activism, environmental education, mapwork, prairie  \nWe are one spirit, one song, and our world will be harmonious only when we make the time to care. For ourselves. For each other. For our home. You don’t need to be a Native person to understand that—just human. Richard Wagamese (2011, p. 37)  \nFor the first time in my life, at the wonder-filled age of 58, I became an official member of a political party: the BC Greens. It was then I also began signing manifestos, my first being the Leap Manifesto.1 Why did I wait so long? Overall, I was comfortable honouring and caring for the environment in my own way,  \nCanadian Journal of Environmental Education, 22, 2017 27  \nand I didn’t think I needed to join a political party or sign manifestos to do that. What made me change? Two reasons are at the heart of this matter.  \nFirstly, as part of my work as an Associate Dean in a Faculty of Education, I organized several “educator-in-residence” programs that focused on caring for places, colonial legacies within education and within local territories, and living in the world in sustainable ways. A collective of educators-in-residence made up of poets, artists, educators, farmers, activists, innovators, and scientists shared their work, and I saw that while activism can take many forms, there is one key component that needs to be present for change to take place: heartfelt engagement. And the older I get, the more I am called to focus on what is close to my heart.  \nSecondly, over the last ten years, due in large part to colonization, I have been living and working on the unceded territories of the Lekwungen and SENĆOŦEN language speaking peoples. I want to respond to that colonial legacy with reciprocity, including aligning my pedagogical and personal life to address recent Truth and Reconciliation Commission (2015) recommendations on educating for reconciliation, especially regarding Recommendation 62 (ii), which calls for“post-secondary ","cbCaihqxyTWUTQIF","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihqxyTWUTQIF","pdf",836820,15,"English","# Abstract\n## Activism in environmental education\n## Aesthetics and personal activism\n## Everyday aesthetics and heartfelt engagement\n## Mapwork project excerpts and implications","[{\"question\":\"What relationship does the article emphasize between activism and environmental education?\",\"answer\":\"It highlights the under-discussed connection between activism and aesthetics within environmental education conversations.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the article position activism in relation to everyday aesthetics?\",\"answer\":\"It focuses on personal-level activism and explains how everyday aesthetics can nurture an aesthetic sensibility that supports heartfelt engagement.\"},{\"question\":\"What materials or examples does the article use to develop its argument?\",\"answer\":\"It shares narrative, poetic, and photographic excerpts from the mapwork project titled Bodies of Water: Partial Companion to a Prairie Atlas, linking local everyday practices to broader implications.\"}]","Cultivating an Aesthetic Sensibility and Activism: Everyday - Aesthetics and Environmental Education | PDF",1792083640,38]
