Dr. Carrie B. Dohe
Carrie B. Dohe (Ph.D., University of Chicago, 2012) currently has a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Toronto School of the Environment to implement Bees for Peace in Ontario. Working in collaboration with P2C's local efforts and networks, she brings together leaders in the faith community to support bees and other pollinators. Before relocating to Toronto, Carrie was a project research associate at the University of Marburg. With funding from the German Research Foundation, Carrie investigated how faith-based environmentalism and climate protection are transforming religious teachings and practices. She is especially interested in furthering interreligious cooperation for nature conservation, assisting conservationists develop more effective communication with non-experts, and supporting faith communities’ efforts to become more sustainable.
