    Event description

    The Australian Climate Change Education Summit and Action Plan project team invite you to join our tenth Speaker Series. 

    We are in conversation with Marcia McKenzie, Professor in Global Studies and International Education, Melbourne Graduate School of Education, University of Melbourne, Australia.  

    Professor McKenzie works at the intersections of comparative and international education, global education policy research, and climate and sustainability education, including in relation to policy mobility, place and land, affect, and other areas of social and geographic study. She is Director of the $4.5M Monitoring and Evaluating Climate Communication and Education (MECCE) Project and the Sustainability and Education Policy Network (SEPN) and is an inducted member of the Royal Society of Canada’s College of New Scholars, Artists, and Scientists. 

    Marcia has written extensively in the field of climate change education, climate justice, climate policy, and global studies.  She is co-author/editor of six books, including Researching Global Education Policy: Diverse Approaches to Policy Movement (Policy Press, 2024), Navigating the Research-Policy Relationship: Studies in Environmental and Sustainability Education (2024, Routledge), Critical Education and Sociomaterial Practice: Narration, Place, and the Social (Peter Lang, 2016), and Place in Research: Theory, Methodology, and Methods (Routledge, 2015); and co-edits the book series Local/Global Issues in Education (Routledge) and Studies in Education and the Environment (Palgrave). Her most recent publication is the co-authored Research Global Education Policy: Diverse approaches to policy movement (2024).

    Marcia’s work with United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has culminated in three international reports; ‘Country progress on climate change education: A review of national submissions to the UNFCCC,’ and ‘ESD and GCED up close: Cognitive, social and emotional and behavioral learning in Education for Sustainable Development and Global Citizenship Education from pre-primary to secondary education,’ and ‘Learn for our planet: A global review of how environmental issues are integrated in education.’  

    This will be an internationally focussed conversation, one that draws connections between policy and practice in relation to climate change education and climate justice.
