Anne Johnson

Anne Johnson is an Assistant Professor in the Robert M. Buchan Department of Mining, and Director of the Graduate Diploma program in Social Performance Management at Queen’s University. She holds undergraduate degrees in Art History and Computing and Information Science, Master’s degrees in Education and Policy Studies, and a PhD in Mining Engineering. Her interests in social justice, environmental stewardship and the ways in which engineering students develop the skills and values associated with sustainability led her to mining – a critical industry (that is fascinating in its interdisciplinarity!) where these concerns must be managed.

Supporting her Department’s vision of “developing exceptional engineers and scholars for a sustainable global society,” Anne’s teaching focuses on education for praxis, that is, engineering and policy practice that is driven by values: those of stewardship, justice, and Reconciliation. Her research explores the values that shape discipline choice and examines compliance and policy tools for the development of promoting stewardship and social responsibility.
