Meera Lee Sethi

Meera Lee Sethi has lived many lives, in all of which she has been driven by a desire to better understand the world and its human and non-human inhabitants. She is a Ph.D. scholar with two decades’ experience in education and communication and a commitment to community building, racial equity, and the mentorship of young leaders. Her research interests include how climate change affects the relationships between plants and insects, how people form lasting relationships with nature, and how to create more just and equitable communities of science. When she is not teaching at Seattle University or other institutions in the area, Meera serves as a working board member and managing trustee of the Charlotte Martin Foundation, a nonprofit that funds conservation and youth education programs in five northwestern states, and does community work in the service of a more loving, just, and abolitionist future for Seattle.
