Emotions in Environmental and Sustainability Education Research Group

Who we are

We are 57 researchers working in 20 different countries forming an International Research Network under the World Education Research Association (WERA). We first came together at the European Conference for Educational Research in Glasgow in 2023. We connected over our shared interest in environmental and sustainability education and our perception that still, emotions and affect play too little a role in this research field, even though it is highly relevant for learning and teaching about the climate crisis and environmental destruction and regeneration. We develop joint research for educators and researchers alike, as well as aim to generate a space for emotions-sensitive practices in academia.
