What kinds of archives do people create when everything around them is being destroyed? In the face of escalating global crises—ecological collapse, forced displacement to authoritarianism, and colonial erasure—archives have become more than repositories of the past.
From earthquake-stricken Turkey to occupied Palestine and post-apartheid South Africa, marginalized communities are reclaiming the archive as a living practice: a means of confronting loss, asserting existence, and imagining alternative futures. Grounded in anthropology and engaging history, law, digital humanities, and political theory, this project rethinks the archive as an affective, multi-temporal entity—as both method and modality through which scholars and communities contest dominant narratives, co-produce knowledge and respond to the urgency of the present in pursuit of justice.
An opportunity to work with the Waterloo Coastal Group examining the response and recovery of coastal barriers and other environments to changes in water level, storm activity and ice cover in the Great Lakes and in the maritimes. The research ranges from geophysical surveys and geochronology of coastal systems to UAS-based remote sensing and advanced geospatial analysis of scale-dependent landscape morphology and evolution.
