ABSTRACT
This chapter provides a reflection on how I became engaged with feminist theorising in environmental education. Starting from a focus on “environmental education as a man-made subject”, I explored and engaged with different feminist and ecofeminist theories before finding my voice for researching in this space. I explain how my position was very much influenced by Carolyn Merchant’s partnership ethic and Sandra Harding’s feminist standpoint epistemology and strong objectivity, as well as feminist poststructuralism research in education. I then discuss how the various articles and chapters contained in this volume came about, and how feminist research in environmental education has changed since the late 1980s.
