ResearchMy research interests focus on the active dimensions of natural resource management, with a particular emphasis on northern regions. Through the comparative study of the boreal forest management framework in various settings, I have been interested in the evolution of governance, including decentralization, public participation and the reconciliation of diverse knowledge systems. Through my research projects, I work with indigenous and non-indigenous communities in Canada and Scandinavia. I am also involved in comparative research that interrogates transformations in rural economies, including the relationship between rural communities and the natural environment. I work mainly with qualitative methods.QCBS students Manon BoiteuxPh.D.  Claire BurnelPh.D.  Louis-Philippe NormandM.Sc. Previous students (since 2009) Guillaume CôtéM.Sc.
