Personal Website: (https://esrguwinnipeg.ca)

I am a Professor and Canada Research Chair in Human-Environment Interactions with the Department of Environmental Studies and Sciences. I hold a PhD in Geography (Waterloo) and have been with UWinnipeg since 2013. To address the rising professional demand for advanced interdisciplinary training, I was a founding Co-Chair (with Dr. N. Casson) of the Master in Environmental and Social Change Program. My work as Director of the Environment and Society Research Group is highly collaborative and I am motivated by enthusiastic students and partners who work to affect positive change.

Courses:

Environmental Sustainibility (ENV-2603)

Research Interests:

My recent research focuses on the potential of cross-cultural collaboration in shaping northern economies, communities, and ecosystems. Our team conducts applied research with communities, governments, and industries to increase system responsiveness to environmental and social change, primarily in the forested regions of Canada and Europe. I also work on conceptual/ theoretical questions regarding the human dimensions of environmental resources to better understand how societies respond to social-ecological crises, conflicts and change.
