Research Interests
I am deeply invested in researching educative experiences that advance more connected, thriving, and just communities. Inspired by Mies鈥 (1993) premise, 鈥渋f you want to know something try to change it鈥 (p. 40), I see knowledge and action as intertwined. For me, research is an act that contributes to the world鈥檚 becoming, and I prioritize projects that have the potential to contribute to flourishing within communities 鈥 both human and more-than-human. Funded by a SSHRC Insight Development Grant, my most recent research involves working collaboratively with Elders, environmentalists, teachers, and students to educate citizens about the impact of colonialization on the Fraser watershed and supporting them to restore local creeks and care for Salmon as family.
