The “Willful Contradiction” of Poststructural Socio-ecological Education
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Many feminists have written about working within a tension between poststructuralist theories and activist work based on more “modern” imperatives associated with “taking a stand” against oppression. These discussions of a praxis of “willful contradiction” are helpful in thinking about the theoretical bases of poststructural approaches to socioecological education, and implications for pedagogy which involves working within/beyond the “theoretic fictions” that comprise our lives. This article explores this terrain, concluding by connecting with previous work in environmental education and related areas of curriculum theorizing, and making recommendations for further investigation of the “willful contradiction” of poststructural socio-ecological education.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
