I am a PhD Candidate in Contemporary Archaeology at UiT: The Arctic University of Norway. My research explores mid-twentieth century single industrial mining towns - their mine waste and abandoned buildings, their active and disused infrastructure, and the impacts these have on humans and non-humans that live in these communities. My case studies are based in western Labrador, Canada, Sør-Varanger municipality, Norway, and the Kola Peninsula, Russia. Previously, I worked as a GIS technician for the Town of Happy Valley-Goose Bay, Labrador and studied/worked in historical archaeology in Newfoundland and Ontario.
