Nick Garside earned his PhD from the faculty of Environmental Studies at York University in 2006.  Since that time, he has taught undergraduate and graduate courses at Wilfrid Laurier, University of Waterloo, York University and the University of Guelph.

Dr. Garside’s research focusses on the intersection between environmental ethics, democratic theory, and citizenship studies.  He has recently co-edited a philosophy textbook called Life Examined: Foundational Themes in Ethical and Socio-Political Thought and has a book called Democratic ideals and the Politicization of Nature that is part of the Palgrave Macmillan Environmental Politics and Theory series.
