Aalto University Doctoral Thesis Award

School of Arts, Design and Architecture doctoral thesis award 2021 <br/>"Henrika Ylirisku’s doctoral dissertation, Reorienting Environmental Art Education is a unique work that brings forwards rigorous theoretical and philosophical thinking on posthuman environmental art education. While the dissertation’s strength is on exceptionally thorough mapping on the different branches on environmental art education (EAE), the most significant merit of the research is in the development of its post-qualitative methodology. The critical, theoretical framework is exceptionally strongly written on feminist, environmental, new material, and post-qualitative inquiry, developing human–multispecies approaches to the more-than-human knowledge production. The entanglement of visuality, embodiment and lived experiences, together with theoretical thinking is extremely ambitious and well carried out. The dissertation introduces new knowledge on art educational strategies for queering normative human-nature relations and hence offer implications for art education and beyond: posthumanist ontologies, pedagogies and the arts compendiously."
