Hello and welcome! My name is Ben and I am a PhD researcher based in K’jipuktuk (Halifax), Nova Scotia, Canada, working at the science-policy interface of salmon watersheds.
I live and conduct research in Mi'kma'ki, the traditional and unceded territory of the Mi'kmaq people. As a settler descendant, I recognize the Peace and Friendship Treaties and the enduring relationship the Mi'kmaq have with these lands and waters. In my work as a researcher, I commit to learning from Mi'kmaq worldviews and supporting the stewardship values and priorities of the First Peoples who have cared for these areas for generations.
