We invite you to join us for the fifth biennial AAEE Research Symposium, hosted by the Australian Journal of Environmental Education, and held online.

This online symposium will provide a space and opportunity for robust discussion, capacity building, and networking for those interested in research related to the intersections between environment, sustainability and education.

Purpose

The key purpose of the Research Symposium is to deliver a high quality, interactive, inclusive, conversation-driven event that contributes to the development and growth of the environmental and sustainability education research communities in Australasia.

Who might participate?

The online Research Symposium invites all environmental education practitioners, including early-career to senior academics, higher degree research students, community researchers, and teaching practitioners who are interested in research from Australasia and further afield. Indigenous, young, and other scholars from the margins are particularly encouraged to attend.

What can you expect from the event?

The online Research Symposium encourages and facilitates scholarly conversations about research, research development, research uptake, and research challenges for those interested in the intersections between environment, sustainability, and education. 

The online Research Symposium has been designed with the following values in mind:

• commitment to open inquiry and reflexivity
• critical sensitivity to research, its development and challenges
• non-hierarchical and participatory formats for sessions taking place at the event
• emphasis on interactions that are nurturing, in good humour, and ‘ego-free’
• anticipation of generosity and collegiality towards others and their scholarship
• inclusivity for those with a genuine interest in developing environmental and sustainability education research.

When

The online Research Symposium will take place on Friday, 1st August.
