ABOUT

We are a research group based at Trent University in Peterborough, working on research projects and initiatives in communities across Canada. Collectively we represent diverse academic backgrounds, including social sciences, natural and health sciences, and the humanities. We situate our research at the intersection of social and ecological relationships, and we seek to work with and learn from communities around these issues.
