Abstract

In this haecceity, my colleague, Jamie Mcphie, and I perform collaborative writing as inquiry to write–think–do environmental education as environing education. We present a dialogical exchange enacting diffractive practice, where the events of a day of environmental education with a group of postgraduate students on Walney Island, Cumbria UK, are passed back and forth between the authors to trouble stratified notions of environmental education practice. Through thinking with each other, our places of encounter, interactions with students, educational and philosophical concepts and Walney Island, we arrive at a kernel of something new: a becoming alien.
