Research Interests

For my dissertation, I plan to examine how the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and climate change impacts mandating and policy development for Comprehensive Agreements (treaties) and Reconciliation Agreements in the Government of Canada (Fisheries and Oceans Canada “DFO”).  This examines the negotiation process and operational environment incompatibility problem associated with agreement negotiation and implementation.  Currently, DFO has negotiations with 600+ Indigenous groups in Canada that are carried out completely separately than operational and environmental aspects of fisheries and oceans resources.  This has resulted in Indigenous groups not being able to meet food, social and ceremonial needs and, in many cases, depletion of resources to the point where they can't recover.  It has also meant that the Government of Canada is out of compliance with the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.

In addition, I am interested in planetary health research related to education throughout the world and the 2SLGBTQQIA+ community.

Bio

I am a transwoman and I live and work as an uninvited settler on the unceded traditional territory of the Snuneymuxw First Nation.  I am a career public servant working in DFO and a Buddhist monastic globally.  While this is predominantly in Canada,  I also work globally on education, policy, legislation and planetary health initiatives in SE Asia, Australia, New Zealand and many African Nations.   In my spare time, I enjoy playing music (guitar and piano), dancing, birding and bird banding (VIU), creating artworks and spending time with my two children, Liam and Aurora. Liam is studying Chemical Biology at McMaster University and Aurora is studying Geosciences at Vancouver Island University.  We have a sweet 14-year-old lab/collie cross, Belle in our life.
