Pluralism in Research: HHL
Some of the most common questions we get in the Healthy Headwaters Lab (HHL) are: How do we do what we do? How do we effectively engage communities as part of our research? The impacts of our research are evident in the strength of the relationships we’ve fostered and the diverse ways in which our research translates to positive societal impacts. To help tell that story, we recently published a paper sharing insights into HHL’s formative years. This paper contributes to a growing area of academic scholarship: Pluralism in Environmental Governance.
ICYMI: HHL Was at CCFFR
Back on February 25 and 26, the Healthy Headwaters Lab hosted joint sessions with the Centre for Indigenous Fisheries at the Canadian Conference for Fisheries Research.
The theme of this year’s conference was: Aquatic Systems Stewardship: Crisis, Change, and Cooperation. The two sessions were titled Indigenous Management Systems: Leadership, Collaboration, and Agency organized by Andrea Reid and Aquatic Habitat Restoration & Partnerships organized by Catherine Febria.
