Dr. Weiler's research explores the convergence of social inequalities and environment crises in the food system, with a focus on struggles for viable agrarian livelihoods, dignified migration, decent work and resilient farm ecosystems.

Her interdisciplinary projects have included community-based research on local food and migrant justice movements, the environmental and cultural politics of meat production, the revival of North American craft cider, food sovereignty and health equity, and comparative analyses of global farm labour-migration programs.

Alongside her scholarly commitments, Dr. Weiler actively contributes to several organizations advocating for food security, employment standards and migrant rights.

Dr. Weiler is available to supervise graduate students in areas including labour movements, food justice, agroecology, migration, animal welfare and environmental sociology.
