Process as power
Dr. Do will be speaking on her book, Process as Power, published at UBC Press. The book examines how Indigenous consultation is implemented in B.C.’s Environmental Assessment Process. Drawing on analyses of judicial decisions, environmental assessment reports, and interviews, it demonstrates how the process of Indigenous consultation is a key site where state legitimacy is contested.
