Towards creating an inclusive community of researchers: The first three years of the North American Association for Environmental Education research symposium
This article uses a series of interlinked, personal vignettes to discuss the first three years of the North American Association for Environmental Education research symposium, from the perspectives of the key organizers. Seven challenges in the field of environmental education research are identified in a recent historical context, and we illustrate how the symposium sought to address them. The challenges were, that: (i) environmental education …

A third series of questions explored teaching purposes. The Van Tilburg/Heimlich Teaching Beliefs Sc…
