In this brief paper, I focus on a specific area of the future of environmental philosophy and ethics (EP): graduate education. One way in which EP has substantially expanded in the past two decades is in the provision of graduate education, with a group of specialist Masters programs; rna new PhD program at University of North Texas—University of Texas, Arlington; and a number of other universities now producing PhD graduates in EP. To keep the field growing and developing, new graduates must continue to enter it, both as academics and as environmental professionals informed by EP. In this context, I identify some questions, some challenges posed for EP by philosophy as an academic discipline, and some possible future strategies for developing EP at graduate level.
