Educating for Heat Literacy: A Material Challenge for Environmental Education
It’s time to get serious about educating for heat literacy. Global warming (as one of the identified and globalised “crises” contributing to the prefix, “meta”) is well underway. Dreadful heat both on land and in the seas is baked into our collective futures. Frequent and prolonged heatwaves are pushing communities to their limits. We take seriously the UNICEF warning that within 25 years, all children on Earth will be regularly experiencing heat…

Eco-anxiety and a Desire for Hope: A Composite Article on the Impacts of Climate Change in Environmental Education
Responding to increasing concerns regarding human-induced climate change and shared commitment as environmental educators to support climate action, we crafted this article as a composite piece — an emerging method of inquiry. We are eleven contributors: the Editorial Executive of the Australian Journal of Environmental Education and two colleagues who each respond to prompts concerning our experience of climate change and our practices of climat…
Caring Enough to Counter Extinction: The Work of Volunteer Bat Carers and Educators in Tropical Queensland, Australia
In the state of Queensland, volunteers perform much of the work needed to prevent the extinction of threatened species who are native and unique to this continent. Acting from an understanding of interspecies justice, caring people rescue and rehabilitate hundreds of thousands of wild animals every year. Many of these same people conduct informal environmental education to bring to community attention the problematics of extinction by seeking the…
Ecofeminisms and education: Repositioning gender and environment in education
This issue of Gender and Education explores aspects of the relationship of ecofeminisms and the environment to gender and education in the broadest sense.It provides an opportunity to re-think how ecofeminisms have, or could, inform educational theory and practice.In our call for papers we suggested the following questions as one way of sparking ideas for contributors:. How is ecofeminist thought currently being taken up in practice in diverse ed…
Ecofeminist geragogy as emergent informal learning: Insights from Nannagogy
This paper reflects on the ecofeminist educational implications of research findings about Australia's Knitting Nannas' Against Gas and Greed (a.k.a.The Nannas') experiences of peer-to-peer, environmental activist learning.Aspects of this unique and successful suite of informal learning practices devised by the Nannas guided by their Nannafesto, and named as Nannagogy, are drawn on to explore the matter of informal ecofeminist education with olde…
JEE stands in solidarity with the people of Ukraine
[Extract] We, members of the global community of environmental educators and Editors of the Journal of Environmental Education, oppose the war of aggression waged by Russia against Ukraine, and stand in solidarity with the Ukrainian people. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is an egregious violation of human rights and a flagrant contravention of Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. The military actions authorized by Russia’s President Vla…
JEE honors activists who gave their life to protect nature
[Extract] The second decade of the 21st century witnessed a notable increase in the assassination of environmental leaders worldwide. The most violent region in the world for those who engaged in environmental work was Latin America, and most of the victims were Indigenous people and women. The activists and the communities they represented put their lives in the line of fire to oppose the devastating consequences of irresponsible mining, logging…
Challenging amnesias: Re-Collecting Feminist New Materialism/Ecofeminism/Climate/Education
This paper discusses the apparent amnesia with regard to insights manifested in ecofeminist thought and applies a re-collective analysis to thinking on the implications of an ecofeminist new materialism for contemporary environmental education research, and curriculum practice. We engage with a conversation between feminist new materialism and the tropes of ecofeminism at this very unusual time in human history, making visible such interactions. …

Incorporating Indigenous Students’ Cultural Knowledge More Productively in Mathematics and Science Classrooms: One Focus for Pre-Service Teacher Education Research and Practice
There is widespread agreement that Indigenous students’ cultural knowledge is desirably incorporated into curriculum and pedagogical practice. Classroom research shows Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander learners can use the cognitive tools of their cultural community to engage with school science. We looked towards our own practice as teacher educators to investigate the question: how can pre-service teachers explore how Indigenous cultural kn…
Sea Country: Navigating Indigenous and colonial ontologies in Australian environmental education
In this paper, we contribute to land education research by focusing on the Torres Strait Islands in the Coral Sea at the far north of tip of Cape York, Australia. We describe the Torres Strait Islander concept of Sea Country and Torres Strait Ailan Kastom (translated as ‘Island Custom’). We then analyse some of the ways in which settler colonisation has challenged these ways of knowing and being. Our inquiry looks at how Sea Country is positioned…
Men on the boundaries: Landscapes and seascapes
This study explores the intricate layers of meanings lived out by men in tropical environments. These men, having adopted positions as ‘environmentalists’, see themselves more in tune with ‘nature’ than with ‘culture’. The paper documents some of the discursive strategies used to disrupt, momentarily, the deep intractable culture‐nature binary that characterises western thought about, and within, landscapes. The project of these male environmenta…
