 Ecosocial educationSami Keto and Raisa Foster Chapter 55 in Elgar Encyclopedia of Innovation Management, 2025, pp 212-214 from Edward Elgar Publishing Abstract: Ecosocial education is an educational area aiming to reassess the relationship between humans and other species. Theoretically, it is based on the ecosocial approach, specifically on recognizing ecosocialization and ecoindividuation, multispecies extensions of socialization and individuation. As the human social community is always a multispecies one, all knowledge production and sources of innovation are affected by the diverse relations and interactions that humans have with other species. While ecosocial education can be discussed with other non-anthropocentric educational areas, such as posthumanist education, its particular feature is the focus on and close observation of the reciprocal interaction between humans and other organisms, and how knowledge and understanding are gathered from those interactions. As the human interspecies interaction is based on embodied and multisensory participation in the world, the application of ecosocial education focuses on embodied and multisensory pedagogy and practices.
