The University of Victoria
Shelley T. Price, PhD, is an Assistant Professor at St. Francis Xavier University in the Department of Management. Shelley’s passion for education, knowledge acquisition and respect for cultural, traditional and spiritual connection to the land is central in her research. As an Inuk woman from Labrador, she was raised to respect the teachings that her Elders shared with her through stories and through being on the land. Her research focus is in Indigenous storytelling leadership toward sustainable development, community wellbeing and responsible management. Shelley’s work in gender and diversity brings her to focus on Indigenous women who are leading grassroots initiatives by sharing their stories and voices toward respect, resilience and compassion. She believes in incorporating Indigenous knowledges and Indigenous women’s voices into the business process so as to respect an interconnected approach to leading change in economic, social, cultural, environmental and spiritual wellbeings of the local and global community. Shelley is a research member of PhiLab’s Atlantic hub , Western Hub, and Indigenous Research Cluster.
Dalhousie University
Margaret Robinson is a bisexual and two-spirit scholar from Eski’kewaq, Nova Scotia, and a member of the Lennox Island First Nation. Her work examines the impact of intersecting oppressions and draws on critical, postcolonial, and queer theories, intersectionality, and third wave feminism.
She has been a community-based researcher since 2009, incorporating participatory, action-based, feminist, and Indigenous research methods. She has led studies on decolonizing research funding in Canada, two-spirit people’s understanding of mental health, and cannabis use among bisexual women. In 2016 she led a team that developed and validated a measure of microaggressions and microaffirmations experienced by bisexual women. She is currently a Co-Investigator on studies of the regulation of non-medical cannabis (Dr. Sergio Rueda & Elaine Elaine Hyshka, PI), LGBTQ poverty and health (Dr. Lori Ross, PI), decolonization in Canadian and Taiwanese animation (Shannon Brownlee, PI), and the Atlantic Indigenous Mentorship Network (Dr. Debbie Martin, PI).

Mount Saint Vincent University
Alex Khasnabish is a Professor of Sociology & Anthropology at Mount Saint Vincent University. His research interests revolve around the rise of the new populist and far right, fascism, and the deepening crisis of liberal democracy and neoliberal technocracy. I’m increasingly interested in popular forms of education and finding ways of connecting people at the grassroots to research that matters.
