Biography

Annette Gough OAM is Professor Emerita of Science and Environmental Education in the School of Education at RMIT University. She has held senior appointments at RMIT and Deakin University and has been a visiting professor at universities in Canada, South Africa and Hong Kong, as well as being life fellow of the Australian Association for Environmental Education and the Victorian Association for Environmental Education.

"[Gough's] scholarship brings the intricacies of feminist and ecofeminist debates into environmental education research. She does the hard work of theoretical sensemaking to assist and encourage researchers to deepen feminist and ecofeminist orientations within their praxis. She encourages researchers to draw on interna□tional sociological and cultural thinking across ecofeminism and materialist discursive analysis – she urges more research that explores possibilities of intersectional ecological-feminist approaches, as well as sounding out the implications of postnature and post-human nature"
