Anne Pasek is the Canada Research Chair in Media, Culture and the Environment and an Assistant Professor cross-appointed between the Department of Cultural Studies and the School of the Environment at Trent University. Her research focuses on the cultural politics of climate change, particularly how carbon becomes mediated in institutional and social contexts. She explores low-carbon research methods through the Trent Low-Carbon Research Lab, addressing sustainable academic practices such as e-conferencing and solar-powered infrastructures. Her work bridges energy humanities, feminist STS, and critical infrastructure studies.
Dr. Pasek holds a BA from the University of Alberta, an MA from McGill University, and a PhD from NYU. Her forthcoming monograph, Fixing Carbon: Mediating Matter in a Warming World, examines how carbon’s materiality shapes climate communication and political projects. She has published widely on topics including geoengineering, digital energetics, and glitch aesthetics, with recent articles critiquing carbon footprints of AI, data centers, and subsea telecommunications.
