Who We are:
Dr. Shana Lee Hirsch
University of Washington, HCDE
EcoFutures Design Lab was founded by Dr. Shana Lee Hirsch, an author and sustainability scientist who works at the nexus of environmental science and cultural change. She draws from her transdisciplinary background in natural resources science, policy, and management and her experiences working with scientists that are on “the front lines” of climate change in their daily work. Dr. Hirsch founded EcoFutures Design Lab in 2022, as a forum for diverse ways of knowing and managing the environment that are necessary to bring about systemic change to address future challenges. Dr. Hirsch' academic publications can be found here. Her book, published by UW Press can be found here.
