In this presentation I describe some of my experiences with using the methodologies of embodied critical thinking in education as well as the results as seen from my perspective as well as those of the students. I will be referring to two different courses, one that focuses specifically on climate change and a broader course on environmental ethics. In these, critical embodied thinking was used explicitly in different but compatible ways with remarkable impacts on student engagement and outcomes. Allowing and encouraging students to pay attention to their embodied and affective reactions to a text or topic removes the emphasis on abstract arguments and instead centers the lived experience of being in and being part of nature in ways that make environmental education concrete and relevant.
