Michelle Nilson
Associate Professor
Faculty of Education
I have a broad range of interests in higher education that encompasses a range of topics from the development of individual identity, agency, and choice to institutional and complex systems-level policy making, financing, and governance. I have a background in science (Biology and Ecology) and am interested in land- and community-based education incorporating models and frameworks from science and community education.
