Sustainability, Environment and the Arts in Education (SEAE)

This research concentration was established in 2012 and is led by Professor Amy Cutter-Mackenzie-Knowles.

The Sustainability, Environment, the Arts and Education (SEAE) Research Cluster is globally recognised for enacting profound change in/through transdisciplinary environmental and Arts education research that disrupts and generates new ways of being and becoming, which provokes dynamic responses to critical local-global calamities.

The cluster is a pre-eminent transdisciplinary concentration of creative researchers engaging in transformational research in environmental and Arts education ‘that matters’.
