David Clarke

David Clarke is a Professor at the University of Cumbria, actively contributing to Environmental Education through a New Materialisms and Ontology lens. Collaborating extensively with Jamie Mcphie and Scott Jukes, his work reorients environmental education from essentialist frameworks to dynamic becoming, emphasizing immanent materiality and diffractive practices.

• Research Themes: New Materialisms, post-qualitative inquiry, environmental literacy, immanent ontologies, and the material turn in education.
• Recent Article Trends: Explores virtual space materiality (e.g., TikTok's cognitive impact), challenges political ramifications of 'nature' concepts, and employs collaborative writing as ecological inquiry.
• Collaborations: Co-edited the volume New Materialisms and Environmental Education (2023) with Mcphie, contributing chapters like Distributed Assemblages of Cognition (2024).
