Bridie McGreavy

2006 Fellow
I study relationships between water and communication and how tides, rivers, and oceans shape diverse collaborations for justice, decolonization, and resilience. I use engaged research methodologies to co-create knowledge about water and communication in the context of coastal shellfishing communities, river restoration and freshwater conservation initiatives, and large-scale science-based collaborations.
