Welcome !
My name is Léna Bureau, I'm a French PhD student at McGill University in Montreal and I’m currently working on the methodological aspects of knowledge co-production in Arctic and sub-Arctic wildlife research. My research focuses on weaving Indigenous and Scientific Knowledge to document the impact of climate change on wildlife and their critical habitats in the Nunavut and Eeyou Istchee regions. I am doing this PhD in the Northern Wildlife Knowledges Lab led by Professor Murray Humphries.
Before embarking on this interdisciplinary PhD journey, I worked as a behavioral biologist for several research organizations, including the French Polar Institute in the Southern Antarctic Islands of Kerguelen and the Kalahari Meerkat Project in South Africa.
In my spare time, I'm also a wildlife photographer and outdoor addict.
