Please join Nature Guelph on February 9 at 7:30 pm for a presentation by Dr. Jesse Popp. The event will be held at The Arboretum Centre, University of Guelph. Everyone is welcome!
Similar to the way diversity held within a mixed-wood forest allows life to flourish; the inclusion of multiple ways of knowing, ways of being, and knowledge systems in the natural sciences and beyond provide holistic understandings that benefit all. From population monitoring to wildlife ecology and conservation, Indigenous and Western science can be woven in a good way to complement one another while supporting reconciliation.
Dr. Jesse Popp is a Canada Research Chair in Indigenous Environmental Science at the University of Guelph. She is an emerging scholar and member of Wiikwemkoong Unceded Territory and strives to promote inclusive science that embraces multiple ways of knowing while on her journey of learning and sharing. Her work contributes to conservation, sustainability, and the progression of the natural sciences in the spirit of reconciliation.
