Elisabeth Barratt Hacking

Elisabeth has published widely in the fields of environmental education and global citizenship education, and most recently, climate change education. This follows numerous participatory research projects with kindergartens, schools, children and young people, teachers, and leaders. Through this work, Elisabeth has advanced theory, policy, and practice in the area of childhood and environment creating the new concept ‘childhoodnature’ (with Amy Cutter-Mackenzie-Knowles and Karen Malone, 2020). Elisabeth’s most recent research is interdisciplinary and uses posthuman theory to rethink education in times of climate and planetary emergency. As co-lead of the University of Bath’s interdisciplinary research Beacon: ‘Living Well now and by 2050’ Elisabeth is collaborating with a network of researchers who seek to develop ‘Living Well’ as a holistic conceptual framework for working toward human and planetary wellbeing.
