ABSTRACT
I have been arguing for recognition of the absence and need for inclusion of women’s perspectives in environmental education research and pedagogy for some time (see, for example, Greenall Gough 1993; Gough 1997b, 1999). In this chapter I explore the related issue of the potential of adopting feminist research methods and methodologies in environmental education research. This exploration includes a discussion of the important of developing a feminist perspective, the characteristics of feminist educational research and a review of feminist research in environmental education. The chapter concludes with a discussion of feminist poststructuralist research as a powerful and promising approach for future research in environmental education.
