Megan Egler is a mixed-methods ecological economist whose work focuses on energy, labor, and power; climate and energy policy; and the cultural politics of energy transitions. She explores the relationship between discursive power and material realities in fossil fuel–producing regions, as well as the impact of energy polarization on policy acceptance and visions of desirable futures. Her interests also include programs and policies addressing fossil fuel liabilities, the redevelopment of inactive extractive sites and infrastructure, and community energy transitions. Megan serves on the board of the Canadian Society for Ecological Economics, is a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Victoria with the Accelerating Community Energy Transformation Initiative, and is a regular collaborator in politically motivated performance art.
