Graduate Research Assistant

University of Guelph

Sophie is a second year Master's student in the Public Issues Anthropology program at the University of Guelph. Her research examined community experiences of health and industrial development in Nunavut. Specifically, her fieldwork involved the development of qualitative community-based indicators of wellbeing in Baker Lake, Nunavut in the context of mining. Sophie has joined the ICASP project with focus on community health, art and musical improvisation.

Listening itself, an improvisative act engaged in by everyone, announces a practice of active engagement with the world, where we sift, interpret, store and forget, in parallel with action and fundamentally articulated with it ("Mobilitas Animi" 113).
