AbstractAustralia is an old continent with an immensely long history of human settlement. The argument made in this paper is that Australia is, and has always been, a natureculture. Just as English was introduced as the dominant language of education with European colonisation, so arrived an ontological premise that linguistically divides a categorised nature from culture and human from “the” environment. Drawing on published work from the Australian tropics, this paper employs a socionature approach to make a philosophical argument for a more nuanced understanding of language, the cultural interface and contemporary moves towards interculture in Australian environmental education practice.

Research Themes

Following on from discussions on the ‘languages and discourses’ subtheme at the 13 th Invitational Seminar on Environmental Education Research, this exploratory study in document analysis discusses various aspects of academic production on language and discourse in the area of Environmental Education (EE). The study centers on the analysis of thesis and dissertation abstracts contained in the EArte Project database, an open access digital repository of state of the art EE research in Brazil. Results suggest that the term ‘language’ appears only infrequently and then usually in relation to different forms of expression, whereas the term ‘discourse’ is far more pervasive, present in the titles of studies on a highly diverse range of research themes.

AbstractThis article reports on experiences gained in two postgraduate programs in environmental education—one at the University of Canberra and one at Deakin University. The paper draws from the work of several postgraduate students who are exploring environmental issues in their communities as part of their postgraduate studies. The paper addresses some issues associated with community-based environmental education, including:• research as participation in the critical appraisal of environmental situations• the need for the research to be responsive to the needs and interests of the community• the role of the researcher as change agent.The article concludes that community-based environmental education research is a powerful learning experience for postgraduate students who are at the forefront of the research process and communicating directly with the community.
