The role, place, and often invisible contributions of women working in the outdoor learning profession have become an area for increased scrutiny. Alarmingly, there is an underrepresentation of women cited in research and practice, yet women make up approximately half those involved in outdoor education and outdoor recreation. A male-dominated…

Gray, Tonia; Martin, Peter – Australian Journal of Outdoor Education, 2012
As Australia heads into a new era of implementing a National Curriculum, the place of Outdoor Education in Australian schools is under question.

Mitten, Denise; Gray, Tonia; Allen-Craig, Sandy; Loeffler, T. A.; Carpenter, Cathryn – Journal of Environmental Education, 2018
Women leaders in outdoor environmental education (OEE) have begun to discuss the invisibility cloak that seems to envelope us. Women comprise approximately half the OEE professionals; however, women still face gender bias resulting in challenges of recognition and access to the upper echelons of the profession. Data show that implicit prejudice…

Today's Western culture is characterized by high technology, time compression and a disconnection from the natural world. What happens when a group of young adult students who are firmly embedded within this world, embark on a 6-day unassisted wilderness experience? When divorced from the structural support of the everyday, and placed in an…

Gray, Tonia; Patterson, John – 1994
This paper discusses the use of quantitative methodologies to evaluate extended-stay outdoor education school programs (ESOESPs) in Australia.

Proponents argue that the outdoor education experience leads somehow to…

Gray, Tonia; Mitten, Denise; Potter, Tom; Kennedy, Jay – Journal of Outdoor Recreation, Education, and Leadership, 2020
While gender equity appears to be moving at glacial speed in contemporary societal debate, many argue advancement toward equitable outdoor leadership has been stymied. Hearing and responding to lived experiences and stories can be an impetus for transformational change. The experiences of all genders, as well as nonbinary and agender people,…

Gray, Tonia; Norton, Christine; Breault-Hood, Joelle; Christie, Beth; Taylor, Nicole – Journal of Outdoor Recreation, Education, and Leadership, 2018
Two social media posts (Highland, 2015; Johnson, 2015) about the authenticity of women's experiences in the outdoors fueled an intense dialogue among the authors of this paper. These posts sparked healthy debate, and we asked ourselves, "Why does our apparel, our aesthetic appeal, our physicality, or even our motivation become subject to…

The study was…

Being a woman in the outdoor learning profession can bring distinctive challenges and roadblocks. Even more difficult is sustaining a life-long career, flourishing into a woman's 50s or 60s. Based on this premise, career longevity seems elusive for some women who aspire to work in the outdoors. This paper analyses the autobiographies of three…

Gray, Tonia; Birrell, Carol – Journal of Adventure Education and Outdoor Learning, 2015
With growing disconnection from the natural world, educators who work in the outdoors need to philosophically rethink their "modus operandi".
