Publisher Description
Introduction Faced with the challenge posed by interpreting social and environmental issues in a broad sustainability context, many young scholars find that they must draw from a variety of disciplines in order to create the conceptual frameworks necessary to advance their research. For example, my doctoral thesis, completed in 1994, focused on the theoretical and practical significance of learning by individuals involved in citizens' groups in a land use planning and environmental context (Alexander 1994). Having access to no ready-made theoretical constructs, it was necessary to create a framework out of elements borrowed from planning, adult education, political science, and a variety of other disciplines.
