Our pedagogy is guided\nby our commitment to honour, think and walk with \u201cthe ‘Dish with One Spoon\nTerritory\u2019 treaty between the Anishinaabe, Mississaugas and Haudenosaunee. This\ntreaty calls us to share the territory and protect the land in the spirit of\npeace, friendship and respect. Our commitment to this treaty works to unsettle\nsettler-colonial practices and relations that often live invisibly within our\nsystems and everyday lives. Our commitment calls us to acknowledge and activate\nour ability to respond and act as implicated treaty people, Indigenous and\nnon-Indigenous, living on stolen land. To think with the Indigenous knowledges\nof this territory, we write our manifesto in a language of verbing with the\nintention to move, to unsettle, to activate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fooding <\/strong>pedagogies\nstay with the movement, transformations and affect of more-than-human food\nrelations. While we state our commitments with tentativeness, we firmly\nstand for and in resistance to particular relations and logics specific to our\ncontext in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. For us, fooding pedagogies invite us to\nengage in:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rethinking<\/strong>\nhow we enact fooding relations and trouble the neoliberal orientations of\nproductive and consumptive relations = consumerism and disposability. We\nthink with consumptive relations to notice the ways we engage in production and\nconsumption, as producer and product, consumer and consumee, and that call us\nto act from a place of creativity, gratitude, reciprocity, and relationship to\nthe more-than-human world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Composing and composting<\/strong> each other\u2019s thinkings, beings and\ndoings, and thereby troubling modernist, neoliberal individualism. Reimagining\nsubject formation without clearly defined boundaries, as a symbiotic becoming\nwith, inextricably linked in commons, always in reciprocal relation with the\nmore-than-human world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Noticing<\/strong>\nthe dis\/harmonious, ethical relations in which we are response-able to how we\nenact our pedagogical commitments and dispositions. In doing so, questioning\n<\/strong>the legitimation of dominant practices and the active erasure of other\nstories and worlds. We walk in questions and call ourselves in question in the\nname of vulnerability, compassion and gratitude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cultivating <\/strong>a\ndisposition of caring that calls us to resist complacency and maintenance of\nthe status quo and to attend to the ways in which we are all active and\nconstantly making political decisions. Marinating <\/strong>in the tensions and attending\n<\/strong>to the indigestion of how we are always already non-innocently entangled,\nimplicated and response-able in partial, unknowable stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Disrupting<\/strong>\nour inheritances of human\/child-centered practices in early childhood\neducation, by retelling<\/strong> our stories of fooding and lifedeath relations\nand what it means to be palatable, digestible, consumable in our messy\ninterconnectedness with the more-than-human world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Our pedagogy is guided by our commitment to honour, think and walk with \u201cthe ‘Dish with One Spoon Territory\u2019 treaty between the Anishinaabe, Mississaugas and Haudenosaunee.
