Publications

We do our best to publish all our work in Open Access formats such that diverse audiences including planners, First Nation leaders, and academics can all access our research outcomes for free and build on our collective work. This is all part of our ethical research approach which fosters theoretical generalizability and practical applications of the research. We co-author our work with community partners for publication in both academic and non-academic sources. We have a commitment to publishing work with graduate students who are instrumental to the success of all the research that is produced.
