Joshua Gladstone is a doctoral candidate in the School of Public Policy and Administration at Carleton University where he is researching human and political development in Canada’s northern communities.

Before beginning his doctoral work, Joshua spent many years working and living in Nunavut as a geologist, civil servant and most recently as an advisor to Inuit organizations on land claims implementation.  He is recipient of the President’s 2010 Doctoral Fellowship Award and an Ontario Graduate Scholarship for 2011-2012.
