Karen Bakker (6 December 1971 – 14 August 2023)[1] was a Canadian author, researcher, and entrepreneur known for her work on digital transformation, environmental governance, and sustainability. A Rhodes Scholar[2] with a DPhil from Oxford, Bakker was a professor at the University of British Columbia.[3] In 2022–2023 she was on sabbatical leave at Harvard, as a Harvard Radcliffe Institute Fellow.[4] She was the recipient of numerous awards, including a Guggenheim Fellowship,[5] Stanford University's Annenberg Fellowship in Communication,[6] Canada's "Top 40 Under 40",[7] and a Trudeau Foundation Fellowship.[8]
Bakker's research focused on the intersection of digital technologies and environmental governance, digital environmental humanities, digital geographies, political ecology, and political economy.[3] In the early part of her career, she focused on water and climate issues.[8] Later, she concentrated on digital technology and environmental futures studies as critical yet pragmatic projects aiming to advance regenerative sustainability and environmental justice.[9]
