Emerging from interviews with people at SaskPower is a managerial discourse with a particularly instrumental approach to environmental education. The aim of those at the Corporation entrusted with the task of educating people about the environment and the energy industry is directed toward achieving what is described as an “educated”perspective—that is, a consensus among people on several questions about energy options for the future. Through Foucault’s essay,“What is Enlightenment?”, an alternative perspective on public environmental education is considered that is more collaborative, inclusive, and critically reflective.  \nRésumé  \nLe concept du savoir-pouvoir de Michel Foucault, s’applique à une exploration du comment le discours de gestionnaires nuit au travail d’initiation du public à l’environnement, dans un service d’électricité de propriété publique. Ce qui se dégage des entrevues avec les responsables dela SaskPower, c’est un discours de gestionnaires proposant une approche instrumentale à l’initiation à l’environnement. L’objectif des gens de la Corporation chargés de sensibiliser la population à l’environnement et à l’industrie de l’énergie, vise à atteindre ce qui est décrit comme un point de vue « éducatif » – c’est-à-dire, un consensus général sur plusieurs questions qui traitent de la confluence énergétique pour l’avenir. La thèse de Foucault,« Qu’est-ce que les Lumières », face à une initiation du public à l’environnement, est un autre point de vue réputé être plus collaboratif, inclusif et autocritique.  \nKeywords: (The) Enlightenment, managerial discourse, Michel Foucault, power/knowledge, public environmental education  \nIntroduction  \nEstablished as the Saskatchewan Power Commission in 1929, the provincial government of Saskatchewan converted the Commission in 1949 into a Crown corporation. The Saskatchewan Power Corporation (SaskPower) has  \n122 Canadian Journal of Environmental Education, 13 (1), 2008  \nserved the province for over 75 years, with the Environmental Programs department established in the early 1970s. At present, the Corporation is faced with environmental issues associated with the emission of greenhouse gases and the potential of new environmental regulations and emissions standards. At the same time, SaskPower faces the challenge of reducing its costs while maintaining reasonably affordable electricity rates for its customers. Further, it is expected that decisions will need to be made for the renewal or replacement of many of the Corporation’s larger generation units in the years ahead. In response to these issues, the interest has been expressed at SaskPower in the development of programs to inform customers, regulators, and others about the energy options available for electrical generation in the province, such as coal, natural gas, and wind power.  \nThe Environmental Programs department is at present part of the Planning, Environment and Regulatory Affairs division at SaskPower. The work of Environmental Programs is based essentially on three areas:  \n• Environmental Screening and Assessment, associated with environmental impacts resulting from the construction of new electrical facilities, such as transmission and distribution power lines,  \n• Environmental Risk Assessment, which involves the monitoring of regulated substances such as hydrocarbons or PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls) in soils, and  \n• Environmental Issues Management, with a focus on the Corporation’s relations with customers and communities across the province of Saskatchewan.  \nMy work with Environmental Issues Management over eight years beginning in the mid-1990s involved the development and impl","cbCaioc8jyhfRZ3M","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaioc8jyhfRZ3M","pdf",92040,12,"English","# Introduction\n## The Study of Discourse","[{\"question\":\"What concept from Michel Foucault guides the analysis in the study?\",\"answer\":\"The study applies Foucault’s power/knowledge concept to examine how managerial discourse influences public environmental education practices.\"},{\"question\":\"How does SaskPower’s managerial discourse affect environmental education?\",\"answer\":\"Interviews indicate an instrumental approach aimed at achieving an “educated” perspective, meaning consensus among stakeholders on future energy options.\"},{\"question\":\"What alternative perspective does the study propose for public environmental education?\",\"answer\":\"Drawing on Foucault’s “What is Enlightenment?”, it considers a model that is more collaborative, inclusive, and critically reflective.\"}]","Everybody’s Into Environmental Ed, Right? - A Foucauldian Perspective | PDF",1792084896]
