Biography

Nicole is a guest and treaty person working on questions of appropriate and respectful relations between peoples and with the land and waters. Her scholarly focus includes Indigenous geographies and systems of knowledge, governance, and law, especially as they apply to the environment; the politics of knowledge and environmental policy; relationality and belonging to place. She has allied with Nipissing First Nation on fisheries stewardship research, collaborated with the Indigenous Environmental Justice Project, and partnered with the Mississaugas of the Credit to connect Indigenous placemaking practitioners. Current projects explore land and water stewardship in Toronto, just futures, and pathways to guest-host and treaty relationality. Nicole is French-Canadian of settler descent and some Indigenous ancestry from the Groundhog and Ottawa Rivers. She appreciates Patty Krawec on being good kin: “Our ancestors’ communities are not always our communities” but we honour them by building relationships, and we transform the ancestral legacies we would rather not claim by disrupting settler-colonial relations. Before entering academia, Nicole spent several formative years working for the Anishinabek Nation on the Ipperwash implementation process. Her research practice is deeply influenced by many teachers, mentors, and colleagues. It is informed by Indigenous and critical qualitative Western paradigms and grounded in community-engaged approaches. Nicole joined the departments of Human Geography and Physical & Environmental Sciences in 2018.
