Megan M. Fowler, MSW, ACSW (she/ze/they)

PhD Candidate
University at Albany (SUNY)

Megan M. Fowler (she/ze/they) is a PhD candidate in the School of Social Welfare at the University at Albany, State University of New York, whose interdisciplinary scholarship is situated within the space of transformative eco-social work, an emerging yet rapidly expanding subfield focused on reimagining Social Work’s role in advancing environmental justice and dynamic climate change solutions. Working at the intersections of contemplative studies, deep ecology, and transformative change literature, and drawing on critical feminist, eco-queer, and decolonial theory, Megan's research explores how spiritual and contemplative practices can reduce climate distress, promote ecological resilience, and galvanize pro-environmental behaviors. A somatic and contemplative practitioner with over a decade of experience in mental health, addiction, and holistic community-centered health prevention, Megan is a healing-based educator and critical interdisciplinary scholar who employs participatory, discourse, phenomenological, and arts-based methods in their research. Megan is driven to help advance the field's leadership in addressing the psycho-social-spiritual dimensions of our climate and environmental crises, and support innovative, dynamic, and community-centered solutions that honor diverse ways of being, knowing, and relating towards more regenerative futures for all beings.
