Abstract [en]

Western human-centered worldviews, such as colonialism, have re-shaped landscapes extensively, and in doing so, have marginalised and subjugated the land, its inhabitants and less dominant perspectives. Many of us in outdoor environmental education (OEE) work in colonised landscapes and have opportunities to attend to them in more equitable ways. Our aim in this chapter is to introduce the concept of reading landscapes and promote ways of decolonising/deanthropocentrising approaches to understanding landscapes. We argue that there is no one way of reading landscapes and, as such, three threads run through the chapter. Firstly, the way we participate with landscapes influences how we might read them. Secondly, that our worldview affects our engagements with places. And thirdly, that theoretical perspectives/frameworks can guide our pedagogical approaches. To situate these ideas in practice, we offer four examples that embed some of these ideas in the landscapes we work. This does not offer a consensus on the practice of reading landscapes, but instead presents a rhizomatic approach to exploring how some experienced educators have engaged with the idea in their different contexts.
