Krista Hiser, Ph.D. is a post-doom educator, a professor of words, and a voracious reader. She believes that college faculty are critical nodes of the university. She interviews teachers and researchers and counselors to learn how the climate crisis is changing their work and how higher education is (and isn’t) meeting the existential challenges of the Anthropocene and the emotional needs of a threatened generation of students.
With a doctorate in Educational Administration and more than 20 years in the field, Krista shares these perspectives in two Medium publications: the award-winning Teaching Climate Change in Higher Education, which is a field notes blog associated with a research study, and The Ultimate Cli Fi Book Club, which focuses on how climate fiction can stimulate the difficult conversations about our planetary predicament that we need to be having.
