Innovation, originality and contribution to knowledge : building a record of doctoral research in geography and environmental education

Abstract

This article explores the possibilities for International Research in Geographical and Environmental Education [IRGEE] to facilitate the composition of a new strand of information on contemporary education research. The opportunities for further informing our community about successful doctoral research studies in geographical and environmental education, by providing brief synopses and related information about recently completed theses, are exemplified. The authors believe that IRGEE might enable thesis writers to communicate their research to others in and beyond their field, increasing our knowledge and understanding of the range of topics studied by geography and environmental educators. Twelve summaries of theses completed between 2011 and 2014 are appended to this article, as exemplars. It is hoped that publishing them might stimulate further interest in submitting summaries of recent and future theses for publication. Information about how to do so can be found on the International Geographical Union Commission on Geographical Education [IGU CGE] website.
