See below for other recent collaborative projects with colleagues and a list of previous grad students.
Audrey Roy is completing the Master of Environmental Sustainability program at the University of Ottawa. Her experiences in the public and private sector have built her expertise in environmental management, clean energy policy, and sustainable governance. Audrey's current research interests assess sustainable waste management in Canadian national parks. She is also researching the feasibility of implementing green methanol in Canada through a 'PESTEL' framework.
Rachel Snelgrove (she/her) is a Master's Student in the Institute of Environment's Environmental Sustainability program. She is particularly passionate about equitable climate action, and will research the efficacy and feasibility of meat tax options in Canada for her Master's Research Project.

Rachel also holds experiences in ecotoxicology and population health research, which she applies to prioritize equity in her work.
Devon Cantwell is a PhD student in the Department of Political Studies at the University of Ottawa. Her PhD research applies a neo-Gramscian framework to understand how cities globally enact climate mitigation and adaptation plans, with a specific focus on the multi-level relations of city climate action planning as well as the ethical implications of city climate actions. She uses spatial ethnography, GIS, interviews, and policy document analysis to construct case studies of the adaptation and mitigation strategies in four global mega-cities: Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), Buenos Aires, Mexico City, and Seoul. She is a 2021-2022 Fulbright Research Fellow to Vietnam and will be based in Saigon with the Southern Institute for Social Sciences (SISS), studying city climate change mitigation and adaptation in Vietnam from January through August.

His doctoral research investigates the global political economy of environmental change, focusing on the low-carbon economy and the blue economy. Terhemba’s scholarly works have appeared in the Canadian Journal of African Studies, Journal of Conflictology and Zentrum fur Europaische Integrationsforchung.
Anna Soer is a PhD candidate in Political Science at the University of Ottawa. She holds a Master's degree in Human Geography from Radboud University, the Netherlands. Her M.A thesis topic was centered around the topic of Inuit wellbeing, tying together environmental, political and economic wellbeing in a holistic understanding of modern Inuit wellbeing in their response to the ongoing mental health crisis. Her PhD research project focuses on Indigenous environmental and ecological knowledge, bringing therefore a critical point of view onto the development and sustainability debate around the Arctic region.
