Siteworks Capsule Talks: Dr Pauline Jones

As part of Siteworks: From a deep valley, Bundanon presented a quick-fire program of talks from leading scientists, artists and First Nations knowledge holders, sharing ‘weather reports’ from this time and place.

Associate Professor Pauline Jones is a researcher and teacher educator in the School of Education at the University of Wollongong. Her research interests are educational linguistics/semiotics, advanced literacy development and disciplinary dialogue.

Associate Professor Jones is passionate about the role of language and literacy in climate change education and the role of books and children’s literature as powerful sources of information for young people. 

Here she introduces key texts and some of the debates about how to (or even whether to) address climate change with children.
