Participatory Geographies Research Group

Dr. Jennifer Mateer is a geographer who believes the best research starts at a kitchen table. Now an Assistant Professor at Brandon University (Canada), she works alongside communities on issues of food sovereignty, land-based learning, and community-led environmental issues. Her projects grow from conversations, shared meals, and walking the land together. Jennifer’s participatory work invites people to co-create knowledge in ways that honour relationships, care, and collective imagination.
