Biography

Scott Jukes is a lecturer in Outdoor Environmental Education at Federation University, Australia. His research explores pedagogical development and experimentation in outdoor environmental education, inspired by posthumanist and new materialist theories. His recent book ‘Learning to Confront Ecological Precarity: Engaging with More-than-human Worlds’ explored more-than-human pedagogies as a conceptual approach for thinking differently about places, landscapes and environmental problems. He is particularly interested in ways we may grapple with place-specific environmental problems and engage with more-than-human worlds. Methodologically, Scott enacts what he calls immanent praxiography as an emergent mode of inquiry that acknowledges the entanglement of theory and practice in outdoor environmental education.

Scott has a passion for the river, mountain and coastal environments of south-eastern Australia and enjoys teaching and spending time in these places. Scott is the Media Editor for the Australian Journal of Environmental Education. He is also Deputy Editor of the Journal of Outdoor and Environmental Education.
