Stories of Water: Preschool Children's Engagement with Water Purification
Elkin Postila, Teresa
Cultural Studies of Science Education, v17 n2 p277-299 Jun 2022
This article aims to investigate environmental education in preschools by taking Donna Haraway's call of "staying with the trouble" together with preschool children seriously, here-and-now, in explorations of dirty water and water purification. This posthumanist inspired research project draws theoretically and methodologically on the writings of Haraway, Anna L. Tsing and Isabelle Stengers. The empirical data consist of three stories from a multidisciplinary intervention research project in the Stockholm region in Sweden, collected from collaboratively produced data such as films, photographs, drawings, and notes from the project. The study can be seen as an invitation to preschools to engage in the debate on climate change and to create a togetherness around environmental concerns, not only in the future, but also here-and-now in the preschool.
