About Me

Christel Hyshka was born and grew up in the City of Champions: Edmonton, Alberta. After completing a Bachelor's degree at the University of Alberta in Political Science and Economics, she moved to Ottawa to begin a Master's degree in Canadian politics at Carleton University. Her research interests include: Canadian political institutions, mechanisms and strategies used by Canadians to engage with their political institutions (i.e. social movement activism), environmental politics, Canadian climate policy and Alberta politics. Currently, Christel is back in Edmonton finishing a major research project on the capacity of the Canadian environmental movement to respond to increasingly complex environmental problems (such as climate change), to satisfy the requirements of her M.A. Although Christel has been involved with a number of different types of political activities, she is fairly new to the practice of youth environmental activism. As such, she feels really lucky to have been selected to join the Canadian Youth Delegation in Poznan and is really looking forward to learning from her colleagues and contributing as much as she can to the delegation’s effort to engage young Canadians in the push to restore Canada’s status as an international leader on environmental issues.
