Research

My research focuses on issues of global transformation, global governance and global citizenship; Indigenous ontologies and Indigenous eco-philosophies. My current SSHRC funded research project explores the complex inter-relationships of Indigenous languages and cultures, self-determination and global citizenship in the context of deepening political and economic integration.
