Webinar: Climate change education at the frontlines: voices from the Caribbean

When educators incorporate climate change into their lessons, the impacts – for example, on polar bears or future generations – can often feel very far removed from the classroom. In other cases, classrooms are on the front lines of the climate crisis, and the work of educators and education researchers takes on new dimensions. In the Trinity term webinar of the Education and Training for the Climate research hub, delivered in partnership with the Oxford Education Deanery and the Climate Change Education Reading Group, we will hear from two education researchers working in the Caribbean. Dr Shenika McFarlane-Morris is visiting scholar through the CaribOx programme from the Mona, Jamaica campus of The University of the West Indies, where she is a lecturer in geography and research methods. Larissa Kennedy is a doctoral student at the Oxford Department of Education, whose research focuses on the liberatory potential of community-led climate education in the Caribbean world. Amelia Farber and Olga Mun – early-career researchers and co-convenors of the Climate Change Education Reading Group – will chair the webinar.

This event is online and free of charge.
