Feminist environmental educators have been calling for new ways of dismantling traditional separations such as nature-culture for reconfiguring human-environment relations. The Common Worlds Research Collective is an interdisciplinary research network made up of educators and researchers that conduct feminist and anticolonial pedagogical and methodological work concerned with more-than-human worlds. This visual essay takes inspiration from the inventive ways the Common Worlds Research Collective are thinking and practising with concepts. This visual essay introduces commoning, worlding and inheriting as concepts for rethinking practice. It shows how re-viewing photographic documentation taken of a waste project with young children and educators opens up pedagogical possibilities for attending to children's complex and entangled relations with waste. This visual essay demonstrates how creative, experimental and feminist methods can reconfigure children's relations with waste and invites educators to apply these approaches in their own contexts.
