Dr Amelia Farber is Research Fellow in the Environmental Change theme at Reuben. She is also an environmentalist and early career researcher who recently completed a doctorate within the University of Oxford’s Department of Education. Her research is child centric, ecocentric, and seeks to learn from historically and contemporarily excluded human and more-than-human voices.
She has conducted multiple projects in the Galápagos Islands, Ecuador, working with children, schools, non-profits, and the National Park to understand how children engage with components of environmental literacy to inform environmental education and empower young people’s stewardship of local and global environments.
She is currently a researcher on a Net Zero Education project at Oxford, while advising the non-profit, EcoEducate, on current and future sustainability literacy programs in Latin America. She has taught and teaches undergraduate and masters courses on education, and worked for nine years in international partnerships, marketing, and operations for tech start-ups in the US. She holds undergraduate degrees in Anthropology and Music, and a masters degree in Latin American Studies from Stanford University.
