Current research opportunities
While I like to involve students in my current research projects when interests align and funding is available, I usually work with students who are keen to conduct independent research in one of the following areas:
- Planning by and with Indigenous peoples in urban and/or non-urban contexts
- Critical perspectives on settler colonial planning
- Critical perspectives on participatory and/or collaborative planning, with a focus on broad questions of governance, justice, and democracy
Contact Janice Barry for more information on research opportunities.
