Community Engaged Research Storyteller Series: Dr. Mary Stockdale

Please note that this event was originally scheduled for March 4. Due to unforeseen circumstances, we have re-scheduled this event for Wednesday, April 1.
The next speaker in the Community Engaged Research Storyteller Series is Dr. Mary Stockdale, in conversation with Dr. Christine Schreyer.
Mary’s present community-engaged research initiative is called the Vernon Climate Engagement Centre (CEC) project. Mary will share stories about communities, connectedness and climate resilience with us, and how these themes have been explored in this research project through an approach called Deep Canvassing.
Everyone is welcome to attend either in person or via Zoom.
In-person attendance is in ARTS 368 and will be limited to 25 people, lunch included from 12:30 to 1:30 pm
About Dr. Mary Stockdale
About 20 years ago, Mary decided to stop working and travelling in the UK (Ph.D. and post-doc at the University of Oxford) and Southeast Asia (working with forest-based Indigenous communities in Indonesia and the Philippines), putting down roots instead and addressing sustainability concerns in her own community of Vernon, BC. Since then, Mary has worked as an Adjunct Professor in Human Geography at UBC’s Okanagan campus, teaching and doing research in the subject area of sustainability and the environment. This work has enabled her to act as a bridge between community and university, with a special focus on engaging community members in climate action, amongst others.
