PhD Student
Étudiante en doctorat

Camille Slack (she/her) is a PhD candidate in the Department of Geography, Environment and Geomatics, under the supervision of Dr. Sonia Wesche. Camille completed her B.A., B.Ed. and M.A. at Queens University. Her Masters research explored the potential for a revised food sovereignty framework to inform policy responses to climate change in the Canadian Arctic. Camille’s time in Ottawa began when she started working for an NGO called Students on Ice, whose mission is to inspire and empower leadership for a sustainable future by connecting youth to nature, and to knowledge, people, and resources, to make a positive difference in the world. Having worked as part of both the foundation’s logistics and education teams, Camille had the opportunity to work with youth climate leaders from around the world, connect with Arctic communities, and explore first hand the challenges that diverse communities are facing due to the climate crisis.
