Living Earth Community: Multiple Ways of Being and Knowing

Sam Mickey, Mary Evelyn Tucker, and John Grim (eds.) 2020

The book is a celebration of the diversity of ways in which humans can relate to the world around them, and an invitation to its readers to partake in planetary coexistence. Innovative, informative, and highly accessible, this interdisciplinary anthology of essays brings together scholars, writers and educators across the sciences and humanities, in a collaborative effort to illuminate the different ways of being in the world and the different kinds of knowledge they entail – from the ecological knowledge of Indigenous communities, to the scientific knowledge of a biologist and the embodied knowledge communicated through storytelling.

This anthology stresses the importance of addressing the global ecological crises through multiple perspectives. These perspectives are exemplified through diverse case studies – from the political and ethical implications of thinking with forests, to the capacity of storytelling to motivate action, to the worldview of the indigenous communities.  The work offers insights from across a range of academic fields, and highlights the potential for synergy between disciplinary approaches and inquiries, especially during this current period of environmental emergency.
