Media mention: Assistant professor quoted in Education Week
Lauren Bagdy, assistant professor in the Department of Workforce Education and Instructional Technology, was recently quoted in Education Week about where teens learn about climate change.
A 2022 poll conducted by the Education Week Research Center found that 56% of 14- to 18-year-olds surveyed learn “some” or “a lot” about climate change via social media. Social media is the third most-cited source where teens learn about climate change, with teachers coming in first and parents/family in second, according to the survey.
