BIOGRAPHY
Before receiving a doctoral degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of British Columbia for research on ink detachment mechanisms during paper recycling, Dr. Nesbit obtained a Bachelor or Arts degree in History and a Bachelor of Applied Science in Chemical Engineering, then worked as a research engineer studying novel methods of chlorine dioxide production.
Dr. Nesbit is dedicated to the development and delivery of sustainability education opportunities. She has developed and taught several undergraduate and graduate courses that focus on understanding the context of engineering decision-making. In 2010/11, she was awarded an inaugural Sustainability Teaching Fellowship at the University of British Columbia. She completed the University of British Columbia’s Leadership in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning - Faculty Certificate Program of Higher Education in 2004. Curiosities about the application of teaching and learning theories, and about processes aimed at monitoring, managing, and governing socio-curricular systems, guide her scholarship of teaching.
