Research Areas: Citizenship and human rights, Employment equity, Disability policy and citizenship in Canada, Historical geographies of racialization, Community development among Japanese Canadians, and Housing, activism, and the right to the city.
Research Areas: Biogeochemistry of cold environments, Carbon and nutrient cycling in permafrost and alpine catchments, and Climate change and disturbance impacts on hydrology and water quality in permafrost watersheds.
Research Areas: Impact of permafrost changes on hydrology and landscape stability, Landscape controls over permafrost-related hazards, Sediment erosion and deposition processes in cold environments, Hydrological and sediment transport modelling, and Paleoenvironmental and paleohydrological change in the arctic and boreal environments.

Cross-Appointed | Professor & Canada Research Chair in Black Studies
Research Areas: Black Studies, Cultural Geographies, The Arts (music, fiction, poetry, visual art), Theories of Race, Interdisciplinarity
Research Areas: Local government reform, regional governance, urban-rural fringe, environmental planning and management.
Research Areas: Biogeochemical cycling in natural systems, especially the role of microorganisms in waters, soils, and sediments. Due to observed and predicted increases in temperatures and hydrologic activity in the Arctic, this work helps us to understand how climate change will impact the terrestrial landscape of high latitude environments.
