ABSTRACT
The project of researching and coming to understand environment and sustainability education and social change in higher education (also referred to as higher education for sustainable development, HESD) is deeply intertwined with coming to not only understand, but also to deepen democracy, social justice and human emancipation. This in turn, involves undertaking critical forms of research that can tease out, model and realise possible transformative acts of democracy, social justice and human emancipation in and through research.
