* Learnings for Alternative Futures *- a Webinar series
Cosmopolitical learning: some reflections on praxis

with *Udi Mandel, Gerardo Lopez-Amaro, Kelly Teamey and Rosemary Logan*
------------------------------

*Wednesday November 16th - 16:00 *(UTC/GMT)

This session brings together friends affiliated with the Enlivened
Cooperative who have been engaging in what we have been referring to as
cosmopolitical learning. This refers to the practice of learning with, in
between, across and beyond distinct ontologies, especially alongside
indigenous teachers and in/from place. Cosmopolitics, first coined by
philosopher of science Isabelle Stengers (2005), is a concept intended as
an antidote, a slowing down, to the practices and processes of the
ontological commitments characteristic of modernity. This opens the
possibility of engaging with the cosmos as not a predetermined entity
already named and described according to particular disciplinary methods
and epistemologies, but rather as messy, plural and becoming, open to other
ways of knowing and being in relationship with. At the same, cosmopolitics
brings into focus how non-human actors, such as mountains, forests, rivers
and others are also subjects and political beings who ought to be included
into the constitutional arrangements of how we order our world.

learning that has emerged from participants. Further, the seminar will be

each other in this kind of work.

About the presenters

*Udi Mandel*

Over the last 20 years Udi has been active in ethnographic and
participatory action research on issues of social, ecological and epistemic
justice and regenerative practices that can bring human and ecological
flourishing. He has taught social anthropology, communication and
sustainability in universities in the UK, US, Brazil and Costa Rica and

America, especially with indigenous and grassroots organizations. With
other friends he co-founded the Enlivened Cooperative, Enlivened Learning
and the Ecoversities Alliance.

*Gerardo Lopez-Amaro*
His interests include co-labor, participatory-action research with people
in territories where stained experiments and practices around Buen Vivir
and cognitive, climate and relational justice are taking place,
participating in a planetary, trans-generational learning ecosystem to
birth worlds of dignity.

*Kelly Teamey*
She has been active in the fields of international/sustainable development
and education for the past 20 years. Her work has focused on critical
approaches to educational policy and practices within internation- al
development contexts, looking particularly at how education, learning, and
pedagogies can become transformative, holistic, and sustainably con- nected
to local ecologies and communities.

*Rosemary Logan*
She has spent the last 20+years teaching at the intersections of
sustainability education, transformative learning and sustainable food
systems. From integrative and participatory, community-based research and
learning in museums and K-12 schools to sustainable food systems,
field-based learning, and permaculture design within higher education, she
seeks to create spaces for learning that nurture transformations of self,
community, and the earth.
