Why are you involved on this project?

It is the collaborative nature of this project, specifically bringing together people with different backgrounds and knowledge systems to help address community concerns in a changing climate that appealed to me the most. My focus within SNF centers on exploring how Indigenous-scientist partnerships can advance community goals in Nunatsiavut. To do this, I will be interviewing people involved in the project over the summer about their experiences with and perspectives on community engagement.

How does your work relate to Nunatsiavut?

My interview project will hopefully help inform an understanding of how community engagement associated with the multi-year Sustainable Nunatsiavut Futures project may best proceed, as well as implications for others conducting research in the region. It will also be used in subsequent forms of engagement with Inuit community members to determine how research can align with their needs.
