The Socio-Ecological Landscapes Lab is led by Dr. Noémie Boulanger-Lapointe whose research centers traditional food sources and their historical and contemporary uses by communties across Arctic regions. Her current work with SFU, UBC and the Squamish Nation on the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh territory focuses on the impact of climate change on alpine plant species.

At the University of Victoria, the SEL lab stands on the unceded territories of the Lək̓ʷəŋən Peoples, specifically the Songhees, Equimalt and W̱SÁNEĆ Peoples. We acknowledge with respect the historical relationship with and stewardship of these lands that continues to this day.
