Overview
Background
Dr Liz Brogden is the Director of Teaching and Learning, and a Lecturer at the UQ School of Architecture, Design and Planning in Brisbane, Australia. Through her research work, she advocates for climate action in architecture, focusing on the central role of education in sustainability transitions through university programs and professional education.
Liz has extensive experience designing and implementing university modules focused on climate, resilience and sustainability from undergraduate through to Masters-level programs. These modules have been developed in architecture programs and through interdisciplinary subjects that span multiple design disciplines. She has received two Vice Chancellor Awards at QUT for teaching excellence and was on the winning team for the overall 2021 QS Reimagine Education Global Education Award.
A 2022 Churchill Fellow and Associate Fellow of the Higher Education Academy, Liz currently sits on the Queensland Education Committee for the State Chapter of the Australian Institute of Architects. Previously, she was a member of the Institute's national Climate Action and Sustainability Taskforce (CAST) and the Climate Action and Sustainability Committee for its Queensland State Chapter.
