Karena Shaw :: Environmental Studies
Dr. Karena (Kara) Shaw is Associate Professor in the School of Environmental Studies at the University of Victoria.
A political theorist by training, she is particularly interested in how a range of contemporary challenges — such as those raised by environmental, indigenous, and feminist movements — are reshaping political space and possibility. Her graduate work was completed at The Johns Hopkins University, and prior to coming to UVic she was a Teaching Fellow at Keele University in the UK. Her current research is focused in two areas: on the implications of forestry campaigns in Canada for the future of environmental politics, and on the social and political challenges we face in reshaping energy systems to respond to climate change. She has published in the areas of feminist theory, international relations, indigenous politics, and environmental politics, and was co-director of The Clayoquot Project. Book-length publications include A Political Space: Reading the Global Through Clayoquot Sound (co-edited with Warren Magnusson) and Indigeneity and Political Theory: Sovereignty and the Limits of the Political (Routledge: 2008). In addition to her appointment in Environmental Studies, she is a member of the Institute for Integrated Energy Systems and of the Cultural, Social and Political Thought Graduate Program, both also at UVic.
