Meet Dr. Deborah McGregor
Deborah McGregor
MethodSpace is thrilled to welcome Dr. Deborah McGregor as a panelist for the SAGE MethodSpace Webinar on Indigenous and Intercultural Research: Issues, Ethics, and Methods. Dr. McGregor is an Associate Professor and Canada Research Chair in Indigenous Environmental Justice at York University in Canada. Find her university bio here.
Great advice for research teams!
You might have seen her name in this MethodSpace post, Transforming Indigenous / Non-Indigenous Research Partnerships: A Comic for Researchers, about an innovative project aimed at helping research teams work collaboratively.
Deborah's research and work in environmental justice could not be more timely, given that we are seeing Native lands exploited for political, mining, and extraction purposes.
