Sarah Hunt (Social Sciences)
Sarah Hunt / Tłaliłila’ogwa, a member of the the Kwagu’ł tribe of the Kwakwaka’wakw Nation in the northern part of Vancouver Island, grew up locally on the Songhees reserve in lək̓ʷəŋən territories. Hunt is a Canada Research Chair in Indigenous Political Ecology in UVic’s School of Environmental Studies, a prestigious professor position given to Canada’s best and brightest scholars.
Most of my research has focused on various kinds of violence—systemic violence, interpersonal and gendered violence, and environmental violence. This work has exposed the problems within Canadian systems of law and governance, and the struggles we still have in trying to achieve justice for Indigenous People.
