Abstract

This editorial introduces a special issue of Environmental Education Research titled 'Land education: Indigenous, post-colonial, and decolonizing perspectives on place and environmental education research.' The editorial begins with an overview of each of the nine articles in the issue and their contributions to land and environmental education, before outlining features of land education in more detail. 'Key considerations' of land education are discussed, including: Land and settler colonialism, Land and Indigenous cosmologies, Land and Indigenous agency and resistance, and The significance of naming. The editorial engages the question 'Why land education?' by drawing distinctions between land education and current forms of place-based education. It closes with a discussion of modes and methods of land education research.
