My research and teaching interests include health of peoples and lands, and the nexus between Indigenous Knowledge Systems and the health and ecological sciences and social sciences.  In teaching and research my role is to listen, connect people, and bridge ways of knowing to inform social justice and equity in health and environmental problem solving.

I am attracted to T-CAIREM by the possibility to work with complex, layered data sets (industrial emissions, health and environmental) in real time with air quality monitoring systems and communities being empowered to know when and where it is safe to work, live and play outdoors.
