Research Publications
Journal of Environmental Education
The Journal of Environmental Education (JEE) is housed in JCU's Centre for Research and Innovation in Sustainability Education (CRISE) which is situated within the Cairns Institute. Published by Taylor and Francis, the JEE is by far the oldest journal in its field having been founded in the United States in 1969, some 15 years before the next academic journal in environmental education.
