- Description: This paper reveals relationships between four analytical frameworks, boundary interaction, reflexivity, transformative agency, and Sannino's reformulated Vygotskian double stimulation model in an Integrated Analytical Framework (IAF) used to analyse expansive learning processes via Boundary Crossing Change Laboratory Workshops in the development of will and volitional actions. I show how transformation emerges from expansive learning processes using two Transformative Pathways in Improved Cook Stove (ICS) practice in Chapita Village case study in Malawi. Introduction of ICSs in the traditional cooking practice generated conflict of motives within subjects of interacting activity systems. I used Cultural Historical Activity Theory (CHAT) to identify and analyse the conflict of motives using socio-cultural historical analysis and analysis of contradictions around learning, promotion, and utilisation of the ICS.

- Description: Using a meta-review approach organized historically in relation to critical policy incidents, this paper critically reviews the process of developing and (re) invigorating Environment and Sustainability Education (ESE) (policy) research as ESE policy engagement over a 30+ year period in a rapidly transforming society, South Africa. It offers an example of long term policy-research meta-review in a context of policy flux. It adds to a body of international ESE policy studies that are seeking to understand and develop the ESE research/policy interface as this relation emerges under more complex conditions. In particular, we respond to the finding in the systematic review of ESE policy research undertaken by Aikens, McKenzie and Vaughter (2016) which reports a geographic under-representation of Africa (amongst other places) in ESE policy studies, and González-Gaudiano (2016, 118)’s insight that ESE policy research in current neo-liberally dominated political conditions and as political process, is essentially an “open, unsteady, incomplete, and relational process”.
