As a celebration of our alumni, each month we will highlight a new book written by one of
Oxford's North American-based alumni.
Our March 2021 book is "Growing Sustainable Together: Practical Resources for Raising Kind, Engaged, Resilient Children"
by Shannon Brescher Shea (Linacre, 2006).
Shannon Brescher Shea is devoted to telling authentic stories about green living and parenting. She writes the parenting blog We'll Eat You Up, We Love You So and is a long-standing environmental activist. After receiving a master's degree from Oxford University in Nature, Society, and Environmental Policy, she worked for the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and U.S. Department of Energy. She's biked from New York City to Washington D.C. to raise money for climate change advocacy, protested the Keystone XL pipeline when she was pregnant, and led family community bike rides. Shea has bylines in numerous publications, including the Washington Post, Sierra Magazine, Scary Mommy, and Romper. She lives in the Washington D.C. suburbs with her husband and two kids.
