Biography

I am a PhD candidate in social anthropology. My research looks at radioactive contamination on Indigenous lands in the Canadian subarctic. More specifically, the research investigates uranium-related contaminations through trails and paths and relations to the land and water. It also aims to highlight how (nuclear) contaminations continue to affect First Nations members in the region and remediation/ reclamation projects.
