Initially, I felt either Geography or Indigenous Studies were disciplines suitable to pursue research in food sovereignty; looking through the recommended course offerings for a MA in Political Economy demonstrated to me that it was possible to couple together, among many others. I felt a strong support for studying not only food systems, but specifically northern studies while browsing through the many cross-appointed faculty within the Institute of Political Economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>My areas of research interest include\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My interests are in researching just, sustainable food systems. The lens that food lends to approaching issues of settler colonialism,&nbsp;inequities, inequality,&nbsp;and environmental change is one that bridges many disciplines. The research focus for my graduate studies will be in northern food systems, focusing on local food networks in Yellowknife, NT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What activities have you been involved in lately? (work placement, work experience, Undergraduate research, research positions, volunteer work, awards, travel, favourite books)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have been working as a Research Assistant for the Laurier Centre of Sustainable Food Systems among other northern food system researchers as part of their SSHRC-funded project FLEdGE (Food: Locally Embedded, Globally Engaged). This past summer, I got to spend my summer working directly with our community partner, Ecology North, in their Yellowknife office on various food programs. Through my position here I was able to work alongside co-leads from Yellowknives Dene First Nation organizing the annual Fall Harvest Fair, and other food-related work with the NWT Food Network and Yellowknife Farmers Market. Before that, I was kept myself busy working and volunteering with various community food centres, public markets and community gardens in Toronto.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3181,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"cu_people_first_name":"Molly","cu_people_last_name":"Stollmeyer","cu_people_initials":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"cu_people_type":[91],"cu_people_expertise":[],"class_list":["post-3180","cu_people","type-cu_people","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","cu_people_type-2021-grad"],"acf":{"cu_people_job_title":"Sustainable food systems, settler colonialism,\u00a0inequities, inequality,\u00a0& environmental change","cu_people_degree":"","cu_building":false,"cu_people_office_num":"","cu_people_pronoun":"none","cu_people_designation":"","cu_people_email":"mollystollmeyer@cmail.carleton.ca","cu_people_phone":"","cu_people_phone_ext":"","cu_people_linkedin":"","cu_people_bluesky":"","cu_people_twitter":"","cu_people_instagram":"","cu_people_facebook":"","cu_people_website":"","cu_people_orcid":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/politicaleconomy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people\/3180","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/politicaleconomy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/politicaleconomy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/cu_people"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/politicaleconomy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/politicaleconomy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people\/3180\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/politicaleconomy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3181"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/politicaleconomy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3180"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cu_people_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/politicaleconomy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people_type?post=3180"},{"taxonomy":"cu_people_expertise","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/politicaleconomy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people_expertise?post=3180"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
