This episode’s guest is Dr Anne Pasek, Canada Research Chair in Media, Culture, and Environment, and an Assistant Professor in the Department of Cultural Studies and the School of the Environment at Trent University. Dr Pasek is co-founder of the Low Carbon Research Methods Group, and she talks to Ariel all about what Low Carbon Research is (and can look like!), the “carbon footprint” of academic research, new innovative ways for research to respond to the climate crisis, the importance of zines, and even hosting her own solar server in her backyard!
How to deal with the dreaded "more of a comment than a question..." conference guys in one easy step. YES! YES! Easy & firm strategy, involving chair intervention and -- if necessary -- an accomplice with a pre-prepared question to get it rolling again.
