New Publications from the IEHRA Team

Dr. Diana Lewis has been the lead author on two new publications released this year. The paper titled “Confronting epistemic blinders in impact assessment and environmental health risk assessment processes” was published in Risk Analysis last month and calls for government and industry to “remove their epistemic blinders to recognize the need for multiple approaches, knowledges, and value systems to reflect and measure the cultural, social, and ecological consequences of development on Indigenous Peoples.” The paper is accessible at this link (https://doi.org/10.1111/risa.70073 ).

Elsewhere, the paper titled “From Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) Involving Indigenous Peoples to Indigenous-Led CBPR: It Is More Than Just Drinking Tea” accessible here (https://openjournals.libs.uga.edu/jheoe/article/view/3142) is a follow-up article to Castleden et al.’s ““I spent the first year drinking tea”: Exploring Canadian university researchers’ perspectives on community-based participatory research involving Indigenous peoples” and discusses Indigenous-led community based participatory research.

Congratulations to Dr. Lewis, Dr. Heather Castleden, Dr. Ronald David Glass, Dr. Nicole Bates-Eame, Dr. Jeffrey Masuda, Dr. Chantelle Richmond, and Dr. Dyanna Jolly on the publication(s)!
