Future Harvest Partnership: Researching a Climate Resilient Local Food System in the NWT

The Future Harvest Partnership is a multi-year collaboration between Wilfrid Laurier University, the Territorial Agrifood Association and the Government of the Northwest Territories Department of Industry, Tourism and Investment. Supported by an interdisciplinary team of leading academics from across North America, and informed by Indigenous Governments and traditional knowledge, the Partnership engages with food producers and local communities of the Northwest Territories to co-create research and generate useful insights for innovation and policy that can inform the development of a climate-resilient local food system.

To apply please send a cover letter, curriculum vitae, list of references and reprints of relevant publications to Dr. Lauren Judge (ljudge [at] wlu.ca). Informal inquiries are welcome.

Lauren Judge

PhD Candidate at Wilfrid Laurier University
I am a Ph.D. Candidate in the Department of Geography and Environmental Studies at Wilfrid Laurier University. I come from an interdisciplinary background in history and the humanities, with a specialization in public history, enviro-humanities and a professional artistic practice where I develop bodies of work based in themes like ecofeminism. After completing my Master’s degree in 2005, I developed my professional arts practice while embarking on a wide-ranging administrative career. I returned to graduate studies to pursue a PhD in 2018, driven by a passion for the visual culture of the Saugeen (Bruce) Peninsula and its role in our changing relationships with the land.
