Speaker Bio:
Rajul Pandya joined Arizona State University as the Fulton Presidential Professor of Practice in Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College and Executive Director of the Global Futures Education Lab in 2024. Before that he served as the Vice-President of Community Science and founding Director of the Thriving Earth Exchange at the American Geophysical Union.
Educated as a physicist and atmospheric scientist, Pandya brings a history of working at the intersection of science, education and community partnerships to advance understanding of the scientific and social dimensions of sustainability. His work has focused on how the sciences can be more participatory, how community participation contributes to scientific innovation and societal relevance, and science as a community and human rights.
Raj invites everyone—especially people from communities who have been historically excluded —to help build sustainable futures where people and nature thrive together.
This workshop is designed to increase knowledge of climate literacy and support the open sharing of resources and the adaptations that educators make for their local students. This session will be 90 minutes and include a climate expert guest speaker, climate literacy support, aligned teaching resources collections, and collaborative time to iterate resources for your own context.
