- Animals "R" Us: egomorphism in/for science and environmental educationPublication . Monteiro, Rute; Reis, GiulianoWe argue for the notion of egomorphism as an inexorable discursive element in/for children's interspecies encounters mediated by nature interpreters. We do so by examining the discourses of a public environmental educator in Canada and a dolphin trainer in a marine park in Portugal while mediating such pedagogical experiences. Our analytical work contributes to expanding the understanding of how human-nonhuman interactions can create opportunities in science and environmental education to disrupt the notion that humans are superior and therefore removed from other animals.
