Co-Investigator at UC Davis

glenda drew’s research is based at the intersections of visual culture and social change, with a particular emphasis on the working class as well as aspects of climate change and design. Her practice is multifaceted in form and includes film/video, motion graphics, photography, podcasting, UI/UX, augmented reality, interactivity and audience participation. Drew was an active member of Paper Tiger Television in San Francisco for several years, a defining experience that continues to anchor and shape her work, from the DIY aesthetic and approach aimed at unpacking media technologies, to creating accessible work that asks critical questions. She was a founding member of cEnergi (Consumer Energy Interfaces) and co-PI on the UC Placemaking Initiative.

For UC CAAN, Drew serves as Co-Investigator at UC Davis, helping lead climate-focused design research, student projects, workshops, publications, and cross-campus collaborations that connect creative practice with public engagement and climate action.
