Why did you decide to pursue a graduate degree?

After working in the not-for-profit sector on social justice issues for a few years, I decided that I wanted to challenge myself academically and focus on a research project that I was passionate about. While my passion has always been community-based and practical work, I was compelled to gain a more comprehensive theoretical grounding in anthropology. I saw the university as an opportunity to build on my existing projects and to develope and focus my scope from an academic perspective.

Why did you decide to study at UBC?

The department of anthropology at UBC has a long history of community-based work with and for indigenous communities. I was keen to explore the long-established existing resources and networks at this university.
