Associate Professor, Interdisciplinary Studies, Royal Roads University

I am an anthropology and interdisciplinary scholar, and thought leader in matters related to Indigenous culture, social and economic sustainability and development. Specifically, the breadth of my practical experience positions me as an authority in the following areas:

· Social licensing and major natural resource development projects
· Indigenous land rights and cultural repatriation
· Indigenous-settler relations
· Technology’s role as a tool for educational programming and delivery
· Language preservation and revitalization

My education has provided a very strong foundation of knowledge and credibility that effectively served as a springboard to prominent roles at highly regarded organizations. While the focused stream of learning at Trent and Carleton universities has proved invaluable, it is the quality and quantity of research on anthropology and indigenous communities, performed over two decades, that sets me apart from all but a few in possessing the highest level of expert knowledge in these areas. The numerous organizations that have engaged me to provide insight, collaborate on solving problems, testify as an expert witness or speak at conferences, is a testament to the acknowledgement of my expertise in Anthropology, Indigenous studies and mixed methods research.
