Understand further how climate obstruction narratives, affect education policy in Canada, with real examples from our speakers and members — and what can be done about it. This session will help school board trustees recognize common climate obstruction narratives, understand how they show up in education policy, and learn practical ways to respond in their local and provincial contexts.
Following the presentations, there will be time for Q&A and discussion among fellow trustees on practical approaches to strengthen climate learning in schools.
Speakers:
- Carrie Karsgaard, Assistant Professor, Cape Breton University – Principal Investigator of Learning Collective Worldmaking, exploring relational approaches to climate education and policy.
- Lynette Shultz, Professor, University of Alberta – Researcher on global citizenship, justice in education policy, and educational responses to climate justice.
