Sara Langer is a PhD candidate in Transdisciplinary Sustainability at Grenfell Campus, Corner Brook. She holds a master’s degree from Queen’s University in Global Development, Peacekeeping, and Conflict Resolution. Her research crosses disciplinary boundaries between ecological economics and fine art, particularly textiles. Using these far-reaching disciplines, Langer is collaborating with the French Shore Interpretation Centre in Conche, NL facilitating community-engaged artmaking and investigating how place-based, community-led sustainability transformations can be achieved through cultural and traditional handcrafts. She joins TAUMUN as the interim Treasurer. Her work has always had a social justice component spanning from undergrad in the student union to community-based work, and she is excited to join the labour union advocating for fellow TAs/RAs/GAs as we all navigate our early career in academia. As Treasurer, Langer is committed to transparency in all budgetary actions, maintaining healthy reserves, ensuring money is used appropriately, and overseeing all transactions. A healthy budget means a stronger ability for advocacy and collective bargaining.
