Sept 2024 – Sept 2026
Sarah Lavallée (she/her) is doing her MA in Geography and Environmental Studies at Carleton University, supervised by Dr. Vivian Nguyen. Sarah is involved with the Provisioning Fisheries project. Her MA thesis explores the role of provisioning fisheries and other forms of alternative food provisioning activities (ex. foraging, community gardens, gleaning etc.) in local food systems and the public spaces that provide such services. Sarah’s research interests often centre around environmental justice, sustainable food, and socio-ecological systems. She is really excited to be doing interdisciplinary research in the SECC lab!
