EducationB.A (hons): University College Dublin Ph.D.(1990): University College Dublin Post-doctoral research: University of Wollongong (NSW) ResearchDr Mulrennan’s research interests focus on indigenous peoples and their use and management of coastal and marine environments. More specifically she is interested in local ecological knowledge, community-based management, protected area development, human adaptations to environmental change, and small boat fisheries development. She has worked closely with Torres Strait Islanders (northern Queensland) since the early 1990s, initially as Coordinator of their Marine Strategy for Torres Strait (MaSTS) and more recently, in collaboration with Colin Scott (Anthropology, McGill University) in the documentation of local knowledge, marine resource use and Islander sea claims. She is a member of the McGill Wemindji Protected Area Project which is a research partnership with the James Bay Cree community of Wemindji (northern Quebec) focused on the establishment of culturally-appropriate protected areas on significant portions of their traditional territory.QCBS studentsPrevious students (since 2009)Veronique BussièresPh.D. Eulalio GuiebPh.D. Annie LalancettePh.D. Marivic PajaroPh.D. Stéphanie Marie SabbaghPh.D. Kanwaljeet DewanM.Sc.
