Jonathan is a mixed Haudenosaunee (Cayuga) and European settler (Irish, Polish, German) scholar from Six Nations of the Grand River territory. He is an Instructor at Simon Fraser University’s School of Resource and Environmental Management. Jonathan’s recently completed PhD research explored pathways to Indigenous self-determination in environmental governance through: challenging settler-colonial policies, plans, and programs by centering self-determination in economic reconciliation, UNDRIP implementation and Indigenous participation in natural resource policy regimes, and through Indigenous resurgence and place-based, community decision-making processes.
