With shifting definitions of climate emergency, increasing tension between advocates and deniers, and blurring of climate curricular boundaries, this panel seeks to understand what constitutes an education in 2025 for understanding, addressing, and living with climate change.
Drawing perspectives from faculty and graduate students, this conversation will explore the current climate change education and research landscape. It will touch on the notion of action, the care of the environment, the role of place, the building of responsive capacities, the fostering of resilient learning, the responsibility of higher education, and the pedagogies for a better future. Moderated by Balraj Rathod, PhD Candidate, Curriculum Studies, UBC Faculty of Education.
