Mia Christensen

Mia Christensen is a Researcher affiliated with Queensland University of Technology. She holds a Professional Doctorate in Education from QUT (2021), focusing on children’s understandings of sustainability through phenomenographic investigations.

Her research interests center on sustainability education, early childhood development, and environmental pedagogy. She explores how young children (ages 6–8) perceive and engage with sustainability concepts through mixed-methods approaches, including drawings and interviews. Her work emphasizes cross-cultural comparisons (e.g., Norway and Australia) and the application of frameworks like the 4C Pedagogical Framework to enhance environmental literacy.

Christensen has published in peer-reviewed journals such as the International Journal of Environmental and Science Education and contributed to edited volumes like Young Children and the Environment. Her articles address STEM integration in early childhood settings, the role of play-based learning, and the global implications of sustainability education.
