Featured Researcher
Dr. Anne Pasek
CRC in Media, Culture and the Environment
As a cross-appointed professor within the School of the Environment and the Department of Cultural Studies, Professor Pasek is studying climate communications and how carbon is represented in different contexts and conversations about the planet and its energy futures. Her research explores what climate change means for academics and how that changes research scholarship and methodology. Building on Trent's expertise as one of Canada's top postsecondary environmental institutions, Prof. Pasek will create a low carbon research lab to explore low carbon research and dissemination methods and engage students who are interested in the intersection of climate change and media production.
