ABSTRACT

In this haecceity, I begin by writing back to myself from nearer the end of the thesis. At least, I do this initially. This haecceity details philosophical materialism, and new materialisms, as approaches to contemporary theorising and inquiry, and discusses how they have been taken up in environmental education to date. However, the voice from the end of the thesis critiques the manner of this writing. Through this juxtaposition (jarring?), I explore my becoming an academic writer through the thesis process. The voice from the end of the thesis, sensing a story, and realising that a judgmental critique is not an immanent critique and may not leave space to grow, leaves the dominant voice to continue its journey through the thesis.
