Anaïs holds an Honours BA in Liberal Arts from McGill University in the Literature and History of the Arts Stream. Over the course of her undergraduate studies, she became interested in the ways in which art practice can be a form of coping, resistance, and resilience. This focus led her to pursue a Master’s degree in Arts, Creativities & Education at Cambridge University, where she is currently investigating how arts education can help children manage eco-anxiety and climate-related emotions.
She is passionate about climate justice and how to foster better communication between citizens and their governments to build more inclusive climate futures. In the fall of 2024, Anaïs joins the EGESTA Lab as a Master’s student in UBC’s RES Graduate Program and hopes to understand how to create more transparent and sustainable chemical management policies.
