Megan Egler
I am interested in ecological economics, the political economy of extraction, and sociotechincal futures.
My current research looks at the role of narrative, identity, and technology in how energy futures are imagined, supported and resisted - with a particular focus on fossil fuel economies in North America. My research is supported by the National Science Foundation and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council.
​
I am a graduate fellow with the Gund Institute for Environment, and a member of the Leadership for the Ecozoic Project.
​
Originally from the northern prairies of Canada, I now find home in Burlington, Vermont. You can find me here hunting/crafting/performing among other forms of general merrymaking.
