Sarah Jane (SJ) Kerr-Lapsley is a PhD student in the Department of Integrated Studies in Education at McGill, and a Vanier scholar. Her research explores formal-nonformal pedagogical collaboration, and her dissertation project focuses on how social studies and history teachers use resources from local Holocaust education centres to teach students in public high school classrooms. She is also developing a forthcoming project that explores how schools engage community gardens and other sustainable urban agriculture initiatives in interdisciplinary curricula. SJ's research interests include formal-nonformal pedagogical collaboration, historical thinking and historical consciousness, teaching and curating difficult knowledge, sustainability and environmental stewardship, and interdisciplinary pedagogies.
