Biography
Gabrielle Slowey is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Political
Science at York University where she teaches courses in Canadian and Aboriginal Politics. Her research considers ways in which neoliberal globalization affects the political and economic development of First Nations. Her research centers on the Canadian north (Yukon, Northwest Territories, Northern Alberta and Northern Quebec) along with a comparative focus on New Zealand and (soon) Ontario.
In her most recent project she compares political and economic development pressures in Old Crow, Yukon and Tuktoyaktuk, Northwest Territories in light of looming oil and gas development. This project is supported by a SSHRC Northern Development Research Grant (2006-2009) and forms part of a larger IPY (International Polar Year Grant) Project 310: The Impacts of Oil and Gas Activity on Peoples in the Arctic Using a Multiple Securities Perspective (GAPS).
