The emergence of environmental education research: A "history" of the field

This "history" of environmental education traces the emergence of the field in formal education and educational research. The word "a" is intentionally employed in the chapter title because this is my story of my understanding of where the movement has come from and what has informed it. This chapter is also historical research: a curriculum history (Hamilton, 1990) in the form of a genealogy following Foucault(1980).
