Gabrielle Daoust
Gabrielle Daoust is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Global and International Studies at the University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC). Her research broadly examines relationships between and responses to environmental and climate change, water, and insecurity; changing forms, spaces, politics, and experiences of humanitarian response; and the political economy of education in contexts of conflict and peacebuilding. Across these areas, she is interested in colonial, post-colonial, and gendered dynamics, as well as ‘everyday’ relations and experiences. Her research focuses particularly on the Lake Chad region (between Cameroon, Chad, Niger, and Nigeria) and the wider Sahel region, as well as Sudan and South Sudan. For the past 10 years, she has been involved in numerous policy- and practice-focused research projects with international organizations such as UNICEF and with government bodies in the UK.
