Eco_Ant:
An ant to some and a cockroach to others. The subterranean termite is an important part of the forest ecosystem, recycling nutrients, bringing mineral-rich sub-soils to the forest floor and aerating the soil. It also pays no heed to the bounds of property, destroying the artifices of human settlement.

Interests:

  • natural resource commons
  • social science research
  • indigenous knowledge

Background:

  • consulting on land use planning for First Nations in northwestern Ontario
  • research on community-based land management in southern Africa
  • PhD in social anthropology (focus on African studies and ecological anthropology)
