Laura Glover
Laura Glover is a doctoral candidate at York University and a social worker based in Toronto, Ontario. She researches the relationship between the climate crisis and mental health, emotions, justice, and activism with a focus on how young people are uniquely impacted. Laura works as a psychotherapist at an abortion clinic where she supports people navigating pregnancy options and post-abortion experiences, runs a private practice where she primarily works with LGBTQ2S+ emerging and young adults, and is part of a community of psychotherapists that offers low-barrier counselling in the Greater Toronto Area.
In her research and practice, Laura is curious about what is made possible after individual and collective grief. She asks what these experiences teach us about our capacity to hope, love, care for, and consider each other, toward building more justice-oriented futures. She is an adjunct professor at York’s School of Social Work where she teaches on justice and critical social work theory and practice. Laura is a lesbian, an athlete, and a dog-mom to a sweet, badly behaved miniature dachshund.
