B) Research Interests and Current Projects
My research interests are rooted in the relationship between the natural environmental and human health. Specifically, I am interested in research that addresses interlinked environmental and human health inequities, advances multidisciplinary science, and promotes community engagement. My interests include pollution, environmental justice, environmental health, sustainability, and public and community health. My PhD at McGill will focus on contaminated sites in First Nations communities.
