Abstract

In this chapter I engage with the loaded sustainability concept from a position at the edge of post-qualitative research (Lather & St Pierre, 2013 as cited in Somerville, Chap. 2). This chapter re-imagines sustainability in precarious times by focussing on the undercurrent that exists in all sustainability discourses and the back-stories of particular places. The discussion that follows concerns questions expressed elsewhere about colonising discourses (Gough, 2000; Gough & Gough, 2003; Rose, 2004) and blind spots in environmental education research and policy (Gough, 2002, p. 22; Hursch, Henderson, & Greenwood 2015; Madden, Higgins, & Korteweg 2013; McKenzie, Bieler, & McNeil, 2015; Tuck, McKenzie, & McCoy 2014).
