Beyond “traditional geographies”: Integrating urban political ecology and cultural sustainability into undergraduate geographical education in Nigeria   The Journal of Environmental Education , 49 (3),  228-241 Authors Augustina Chinyere Nzeadibe, Rose Nkechi Uchem, Thaddeus Chidi Nzeadibe This study utilized qualitative methods and the urban political ecology (UPE) framework to situate changes in scope and content of undergraduate geography curriculum in Nigeria within the domain of education for sustainability.
