Bio

Anaïs is passionate about climate justice and how to foster better communication between citizens and their governments to build more inclusive climate futures. Her research interests lie at the intersection of environmental humanities, sustainability, arts education, and Indigenous-settler relationships in Canada.

She recently graduated from Cambridge University with an MPhil degree in Arts, Creativities, and Education, where she investigated how arts education can help adolescents manage eco-anxiety and climate-related emotions. She is currently pursuing a MA degree at UBC in Resources, Environment, and Sustainability under the supervision of Dr. Gunilla Öberg. Her research explores what emotions are tied to the implementation of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) in Canada and how educators can harness these emotions to promote decolonial learning in government employees.
