UQAM launches new Canada Research Chair in Northern living environments

The Université du Québec à Montréal recently launched a new Canada Research Chair in Northern living environments. The post will be held by UQAM Professor Laurie Guimond, who will lead a team of 15 master’s and doctoral researchers. Together, they will analyze the geographic processes involved in “Northern living” in the context of change. Specifically, they will focus on three axes of research: the ways in which we inhabit a territory on a daily basis; how territories relate to mobility; and intercultural cohabitation.
