Felicitas Egunyu’s research is about environmental governance and the assessment of social impacts. In the assessment of social impacts, she is interested in processes that contribute to participatory and efficient impact assessments. While under environmental governance, her focus is resource extraction particularly critical minerals and artisanal and small-scale mining. She is interested in how the governance of resource extraction can be made participatory, inclusive, and equitable and how different actors including resource host communities, governments, corporations, and civil society can work together to engender social and environmental sustainability. Felicitas is currently investigating the socio-economic impacts of artisanal and small-scale mining in Uganda. She is also researching critical minerals in Canada, Ghana, and Uganda.
Felicitas brings experience from working with government, the private sector, consulting, and not-for-profit. Felicitas is also an Adjunct Professor at the School of Environment and Sustainability, University of Saskatchewan.
