UNESCO Chair on Refugee Integration through Education, Language and Arts

In this podcast, Sundas shares some aspects of her recently completed research project that investigated the use of indigenous, faith, spiritual, and cultural environmental literacies for sustainability education. She elaborates on how these pluriversal environmental literacies are important for not only sustainability and regeneration for all life and life forms on earth, but also for peacebuilding.

Dr Sundas Mahar is a researcher and educator currently based at the University of Glasgow. She is specifically interested in using decolonial and pluriversal frameworks to create impactful approaches to education for sustainability and regeneration. Her research focuses on creative, participatory, and embodied approaches to inquiry with students and communities in non-formal educational contexts.
