Three delegates from UVic landed in India just ahead of the 150th anniversary of Gandhi’s birth for an international symposium organized by UVic’s Budd Hall and UNESCO co-chair
Rajesh Tandon to explore concepts of community-based research in the context of Gandhian principles.
During a two-week stay in Canada, UVic geography faculty and three Maasai from Tanzania exchanged cultural knowledge and practices with First Nations from the T’souke and
Tla-o-qui-aht on Vancouver Island to the Selkirk and Carcross-Tagish peoples of the Yukon.
Community-based researcher Crystal Tremblay is intrigued by the threads that draw UVic and community together. She’s spent over 10 years collaborating with communities to address
local challenges, such as an initiative that improved the safety and income generation of organized waste pickers in São Paulo, Brazil.
