Assistant Professor, Education
Cape Breton University

Carrie Karsgaard is an Assistant Professor in the Education Department at Cape Breton University and PI of Learning Collective Worldmaking.

A thread throughout her research and practice involves the links between social, environmental, and epistemic justice, both within the settler colonial state of Canada and across borders globally. With an interest in the contributions and knowledges of those often excluded from formal education spaces, one aspect of her research draws on social media to tap into public dialogue and activism, with the purposes of informing formal education.

Her recent book, Instagram as Public Pedagogy: Online Activism and the Trans Mountain Pipeline, uses digital methods to explore the educative force of social media in anti-pipeline activism. The collection of projects associated with Learning collective worldmaking support climate education and policy driven by creativity and democratic deliberation among youth, teachers, and communities in ranging contexts globally.
