Implementing climate change education in the United States: A meso-level analysis of school systems
The field of climate change education is growing, with most research efforts focused on what represents effective teaching while having little to say about the structural obstacles to enacting the curriculum. This essay examines what we know about climate change education implementation from a meso-level structural perspective, accounting for the levels of school organization and permission structures that must be in place to effectively enact cl…
Emergent forms of ‘Dark Green Religion’ and the (ecofascist) future of environmental education in the United States
What is the future of environmental and climate change education in the United States given the emergence of neofascist and Christian Nationalist political movements during a time of social secularization? In this essay we discuss the politically heterogenous appeal of environmental concern in America, the tenuous nature of environmental education's current Left-liberal political valence, and implications for climate change education amidst ongoi…
How geography and politics shape teachers’ engagement with climate change science standards
What higher education can bring to resilience: Reports from Pace University’s water resilience conference
Learning to teach climate change as if power matters
At one level, climate change is not a terribly difficult concept to understand: human beings are moving carbon from the ground, setting it on fire, and sending it into the air where it acts like a
Broadening epistemologies and methodologies in climate change education research
In this commentary, we reflect on the articles in this special collection from our lens as scholars who have chosen to conduct research with a focus on climate change education. We start with statements of positionality, as certainly our own experiences and philosophical stances shape our work and reflections included here. Afterwards, we present a typology of climate change education research, utilizing a framework developed from research paradi…
How the environment is positioned in the Next Generation Science Standards: A critical discourse analysis
The purpose of this paper is to describe how the environment and environmental issues are conceptualized and positioned in the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) to examine underlying assumptions about the environment. The NGSS are a recent set of science standards in the USA, organized and led by Achieve Inc., that propose science education goals based on the National Research Council report, A Framework for K-12 Science Education. Drawing…
Expanding the Foundation: Climate Change and Opportunities for Educational Research
Human-caused climate change is a dominant global challenge. Unlike other disciplines and fields, there has as yet been only limited attention to climate change in educational research generally, and in educational foundations in particular. Education is key to assisting humanity in mitigating and adapting to climate change, and educational researchers working within diverse disciplinary and methodological traditions and a broad array of research …

Environmental education in a neoliberal climate
This introduction to a special issue of Environmental Education Research explores how environmental education is shaped by the political, cultural, and economic logic of neoliberalism. Neoliberalism, we suggest, has become the dominant social imaginary, making particular ways of thinking and acting possible while simultaneously discouraging the possibility and pursuit of others. Consequently, neoliberal ideals promoting economic growth and using …

Economics and Education for Human Flourishing: Wendell Berry and the Oikonomic Alternative to Neoliberalism
Neoliberal ideologies and policies have transformed how we think about the economy, education, and the environment. Economics is presented as objective and quantifiable, best left to distant experts who develop algorithms regarding different monetary relations in our stead. This same kind of thinking—technical, numerical, decontextualized, and ostensibly objective—infiltrates how we think about education and the environment. For example, neoliber…
Contesting global neoliberalism and creating alternative futures
Neoliberal policies, in spite of their considerable damage to economic equality, the environment, and education, remain dominant. In this paper, we suggest that neoliberalism has remained dominant in part because the power elite who benefit from the policies have gained control over both public debate and policy-making. By dominating the discourse and logic regarding economic, environmental, and education decision-making, neoliberal proponents ha…
