About Me
I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of City Planning at the University of Mantioba. My research is driven by a concern for how planning decisions are made and the institutional structures (laws, policies, procedures and even informal professional norms) that faciliate and impede meaningful engagement with diverse peoples and perspectives. While much of my work is informed by the theory and practice of collaborative planning, I have a equal if not greater interest in the study of planning conflicts. In recent years, my work has been almost exclusively focused on conflicts and collaborations between Indigenous peoples and planning agencies.
I received my PhD in Community and Regional Planning from the University of British Columbia. I also hold a Masters in Canadian Studies and Indigenous Studies and Bachelors of Science in Environmental Science and Biology, both from Trent University. Before taking up my current position, I was as a Lecturer of Town Planning at the University of Sheffield (UK) and a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Glasgow (UK).
