PhD Candidate, Dept. of Archaeology, Memorial University

Research Assistant

^{Supervisors: Dr. Scott Neilsen / Dr. Meghan Burchell}

My research focuses on the colonial legacy of toxic contamination from military bases in Labrador, how this waste has impacted the area’s history and heritage, and the role archaeology plays in understanding the history of industrial contamination on Indigenous lands. Landscape theory and community archaeology with local Indigenous knowledge and analytical chemistry will be used to analyze the continuing colonial legacy of Northern contamination.
