Abstract
In this new collection of work, we aim to describe research with/in environmental education as a diverse and growing field of inquiry, respondent to a variety of international program developments and contexts. This research might be labeled under various genres: environmental education, global education, indigenous education, health education, eco-justice education, education for sustainable development, environmental learning, etc., however in our opinion, what truly matters is that there are a broad range of perspectives and paradigms described that may critically inform our work as educators and as researchers. This work then begins to describe a range of possibilities that exist around the various contexts for research in environmental education.
This collection of original research, drawn from around the globe begins to richly describe aspects of diversity in environmental education research. It attempts to do so in two ways: first, it begins to mirror a diversity of voices and cultures that are conducting research in this ever-broadening and increasingly global field of inquiry; second: it illuminates further potential for diversity in research by highlighting a range of methodologies salient in other fields which may also have promise for the practice of research in environmental education.
