Australian Journal of Environmental Education is an international refereed journal which publishes
papers and reports on all aspects of environmental education. It is the journal of the Australian Association for
Environmental Education. It is produced in order to present information and argument which will stimulate
debate about educational strategies that enhance the kinds of awareness, understanding and actions that
promote environmental and social justice. The Journal is addressed to educators working in any educational
setting where these matters are centrally or peripherally considered.
Contributions
The Journal welcomes contributions about all aspects of environmental education and seeks balanced and
integrative accounts of practice, theory and research presented in written or graphic forms appropriate to
the matters considered, the wide range of the journal’s readership and the journal’s intentions. Intending
contributors are asked to adhere to “Guidelines to Authors” set out on the inside back cover.
