Speaker Bio
Sarah (she/her) leads the office's academic, co-curricular, and community outreach and engagement programming and team, including staff members focused on reuse and recycling and the campus natural areas program. She earned her PhD in Literature from UO and her research focused on how narratives after the First World War manifested, but failed to resolve, the conflict's trauma and grief. She has since extended that overarching curiosity about the cultural and affective consequences of rupture, change, and traumatic events to the "polycrisis" of our current world. She has trained as a facilitator and program teacher with the Good Grief Network, the All We Can Save Project's Climate Wayfinding program, and the Stanford Design School. Sarah uses these trainings frequently in her work, from classes centered on envisioning sustainable futures for all or workshops for faculty and staff focused authentic engagement and deepening of professional practice. Outside of work, she can often be found reading, hiking, stand-up paddle boarding, snowboarding, or cooking.
