Research Interests

For far too long, Indigenous peoples have been the recipients of research with little to no benefit accruing to them for their involvement in research. My program of research is largely aimed at building opportunities for Indigenous peoples and communities to use research as a tool for their benefit, on their terms.

One way my research is aiming to generate more Indigenous-led research is through the . The WLN is one of nine Network Environments for indigenous Health Research that is funded by the Canadian Institutes for Health Research. Through a $10.5 million investment from CIHR, our Network launched in 2020 and is aimed at shifting research into the hands of our Indigenous community partners by offering both long and short-term funding opportunities for community-led health research.

The WLN also supports the , which has been in operation since 2017, and offers funding and mentorship support for Indigenous students pursuing graduate degrees in health and health-related fields throughout the Atlantic provinces.
