Human activities on the planet are having an unprecedented effect on the natural and social systems that sustain life. As a result, sustainability has become a popular normative social and ecological goal to address conditions of unsustainability. These terms are definitionally vague and contextualized by diverse cultural actors to mean particular things within different contexts. The dissertation study reported here explored the theory and practice of sustainability education in an institutionalized educational setting, including its varied ecological, educational and infrastructural implications. By using an institutional ethnographic methodology, I explained how one educational institution socially constructed and physically operationalized a particular conception of sustainability education. Using ecosystem complexity theory, ecological communication dynamics and political ecology as theoretical lenses, and phronetic case and abductive gestalt analyses as analytic tools, I detailed how this institution engaged in elite-driven change with social, cultural and material implications in the community. In particular, the emergent ideation of sustainability education manifested as a down-shifting of social and ecological responsibility to the local scale and represents a larger trend in the neoliberalization of environmental education. I also argue that sustainability education represents a privileged eco-chic discourse and discuss the implications of this nascent phenomenon as it relates to green capitalism. Findings speak to the emerging fields of sustainability studies in general, and sustainability education in particular, and inform future sustainability research and practice.
