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.engAnimalDiscourseEducationEgomorphismNonhumanSociologyVeterinary Sciencesjournal article10.1163/15685306-12341526
