Postdoctoral Scholar, University of Saskatchewan

Kristen Hargis is a Postdoctoral Scholar with the Monitoring and Evaluating Climate Communication and Education (MECCE) Project. She has provided research assistance on a range of research projects conducted by the MECCE Project and the Sustainability and Education Policy Network (SEPN) since 2013, including several UNESCO consultancies and SEPN’s Canadian Landscape Policy Analysis. Her PhD research used practice theory to explore how climate change education could and should be conceptualized at K-12 schools, including in relation to social and emotional, cognitive, and action-oriented learning dimensions. She also utilizes a whole institution approach to climate change education in her research, which includes climate change education within teaching and learning, school governance, facilities and operations, and community partnerships. She received her Master of Educational Foundations and PhD in Environment and Sustainability from the University of Saskatchewan.
