Summary

My doctoral research is grounded in a deep respect for the complex human and environmental connections that underpin community identity. By partnering with the Citizen Lab at University of Toronto and the University of Massachusetts - Amherst, I explored how interdisciplinary teams bridge diverse disciplines to understand the human experience in the Anthropocene.

This work emphasizes the critical importance of acknowledging historical and cultural contexts that shape our collective actions.

In this context, my understanding of the role of Indigenous sovereignty extends beyond abstract policy frameworks to tangible local governance. The UBC Vancouver-Point Grey campus sits on traditional territory, and operations in Vancouver are deeply intertwined with the communities that share the lands, underscoring that sustainable development must respect ancestral boundaries.

Land Acknowledgement is not merely a footnote but a fundamental ethical imperative required for all academic discourse and public engagement. Without it, we risk erasing the rich cultural and ecological heritage that defines our world.
