Leaving the Meatrix? Transformative Learning and Denialism in the Case of Meat Consumption
Spannring, Reingard; Grušovnik, Tomaž
Environmental Education Research, v25 n8 p1190-1199 2019
Despite growing evidence of many environmental and other problems being caused by industrialized meat production, the issue of meat consumption is still generally seen as a private affair that has nothing to do with politics or education. This article problematizes meat consumption and discusses transformative learning theory in the light of the authors' experiences with denialism in critical meat education. It reveals the potential of a cross-fertilization through which transformative learning theory gains complexity and critical meat education benefits from a more coherent theoretical and practical frame.
