Biography
Peta J. White is an Associate Professor in science and environmental education at Deakin University. She educated in classrooms, coordinated programs, supported curriculum reform, and prepared teachers in several jurisdictions across Canada and Australia. Her PhD explored learning to live sustainably as a platform to educate future teachers. Peta continues her commitment to initial teacher education leading courses, units, and programs and in-service teacher education through research-informed professional learning programs. She was acknowledged as a Senior HEA Fellow and awarded the Jeff Northfield Memorial Award for Excellence in Teacher Research (2021). Peta Co-directs the Centre for Regenerating Futures - a Faculty Centre that explores Anthropocene challenges and decolonising practices while building researcher capacity. Peta’s current research follows three narratives: science and biology education; sustainability, environmental, and climate change education; and collaborative/activist methodology and research.

Professional commitment to the fields of Science, Environmental, Sustainability, and Climate Change Education
I have been a long-term activist and practitioner in the field of environmental education. As my career progresses, I adapt my leadership practices. I began as a classroom educator working with groups of young people and in local contexts. I then moved to lead and support local community groups to undertake local project and state conferences. I am currently an active member of several professional associations related to environmental education and science education. This developed into state and national executive roles where I provided leadership and engaged partners in undertaking project work and conference coordination. I currently continue this voluntary commitment and continue academic leadership roles in journals, communicating science and environmental education research and practice. My voluntary commitment is aligned to my professional capacity as a senior lecturer supporting future educators in these challenging times. I continue to practice living lightly on the earth and do what I can to support others to do the same.

Walking My Talk as an Intentional, Embodied (Co)constructed Environmental Educator (Link to online repositry of dissertation)
Exploring the question (how) can I use personal change to inspire educational and social/cultural change, this work was embodied and action orientated with a thesis that the doing (action) is as important as the thinking and talking about it. A three-dimensional model of exploring personal change through transformative education leading to social/cultural change was employed throughout this research. A critical poststructural ecofeminist frame undergirded an autoethnographic self-study where I changed my living practices to become more sustainable while living within society, and used this as a platform for how I could become a better environmental educator and activist. I reduced my ecological footprint from 16.4HA to 1.8HA and taught a preservice teacher course in environmental education, where I explored student resistances, power and relationships, a critique of curriculum, and personal change as a result of transformative education. One particular pedagogical strategy, the Action Learning Group Project, was developed and used to support others to undergo personal change through transformative education leading to social/cultural change. And finally, I use this work as an opportunity to undertake environmental education activism working to generate social/cultural change.

Tertiary Teaching Experiences
I started my tertiary teaching experiences in 2003 with Curtin University teaching the Society and Environment Methods unit (2003) with two cohorts (online and in person).
From the start of my graduate program in Canada (2005) I was an active and engaged member of the Faculty of Education at the University of Regina where I taught 14 undergraduate classes in education, supervised over 60 teacher candidates in their field placements, and managed the Science education labs (through renovation).
Additionally, I have worked for Royal Roads University in British Columbia, where, I taught two graduate courses in the Masters of Arts in Environmental Education and Communication program and supervised fourteen Masters student research projects (one of whom was nominated for the Governor Generals Award).
I also worked for the Arctic College, Nunavut, (through the University of Regina) in a remote Inuit community (Qikiqtarjuaq), teaching pre-service education students Assessment and Evaluation.
Upon my return to Australia (2013) I joined Curtin University as part of the online tutoring team with Open University Australia Primary Education Program teaching the first year Introduction to Teaching unit (EDP 120) and fourth year Integrated programming (EDP 410).
At the same time I also tutored in the Southern Cross University Environmental Education unit online.
I then undertook a full time Senior Lecturer position in Education with Edith Cowan University – South West Campus. In this role I enjoyed a full teaching load, initiated a small self-reflexive research project with colleagues, held a Science Extravaganza with students, and supported many on campus events such as the Engineering Day for school aged students.
I am now employed in an ongoing position with Deakin University - Burwood Campus - Melbourne, Victoria. In this role I become part of the exciting Science, Technology, Mathematics and Environmental Education Research Group.
In 2020, I was promoted to senior lecturer. In 2023, I was promoted to associate professor.
