ABSTRACT
This chapter argues that to date, environmental education research has rarely addressed areas of different women’s experiences and knowledges, which means many useful insights have not been adequately pursued but that using feminist research strategies to generate a gender agenda provides the basis for different ways of thinking and perceiving in environmental education research. Thus, the emphasis here is on women’s experiences and knowledge and the perspective these bring to environmental education research. In particular, the chapter explains why a feminist perspective is important in environmental education and what characterises feminist research, it also discusses what feminist research has been undertaken to date in environmental education, and the potential for feminist research in environmental education.
