Her interests are grounded in her community activism working with women\u2019s organizations locally, nationally and internationally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Birk recently returned from a year in Aotearoa, New Zealand, completing a SSHRC postdoc focused on her project <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fist\/2020\/manjeet-birk-begins-sshrc-postdoc-pathways-to-inclusion-of-indigenous-and-racialized-communities-a-comparative-analysis-between-canada-and-new-zealand\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><i>Pathways to Inclusion of Indigenous and Racialized Communities: A Comparative Analysis Between Canada and New Zealand<\/i><\/a>. This project involved collaborating with a team in the Department of Public Health at the Auckland University of Technology, in Auckland NZ to think through systemic and institutional racism particularly as it relates to racialized and Indigenous communities in Auckland. This will form the basis of a comparative analysis between Canada and Aotearoa New Zealand.
