Allison Chandler, MA

Research Statement

My research interests converge on issues relating to vulnerable communities, accountable governance, development, and reconstruction. I’ve worked around the world on conflict-related issues, mainly related to developing more effective policy.

With Aurora College, I am working on the State of the Northwest Territories Country Food Systems project, which examines food security in communities around the territory and seeks to provide a foundation for future research on food systems and traditional foods.

Current Projects

• State of the Northwest Territories Country Food Systems
• Research CA$H (Capacity, Access and Strength Here)

• Institutional Capacity Building: Development of an Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) Strategy for Aurora College
