Sustainability is a leading, international, cross-disciplinary, scholarly and open access journal of environmental, cultural, economic, and social sustainability of human beings. Nina Kolleck is Guest Editor of the Sustainability Special-Issue "Social Network Analysis and Social Networks in Education for Sustainable Development" and looking forward to get interesting contributions.

Since social innovations such as ESD are implemented and realized through social relations, applications of quantitative and qualitative techniques of Social Network Analysis (SNA) or network and governance approaches as such to study the increasing relevance of ESD seem apparent. Despite considerable research on the involvement of ESD, however, its implementation through relations, as well as the interactions between different actors in these processes, have been researched scarcely with social network approaches. This Special Issue addresses the research gap and welcomes articles that are related to aspects of social networks and collaboration with a focus on education and sustainability. It encourages contributions employing different approaches and quantitative and/or qualitative network methods and drawing on different data.

Deadline for manuscript submissions: 30 November 2018
