In a class with Dr. Robin Gray at the Department of Sociology of the University of Toronto, we were tasked with creating a list that could be used to update a comprehensive exam in our study areas. I focused on the environmental sociology comprehensive exam, proposing a list that could be added as a section to that exam. I have edited the assignment so that it flows more naturally as a resource here.

When I was working as a biologist with Scott Nielsen at the University of Alberta, I worked in the Livingstone Range in Treaty 7 Territory, Southwestern Alberta.

I took this photo in the traditional homeland of the Niitsítpiis-stahkoii (ᖹᐟᒧᐧᐨᑯᐧ ᓴᐦᖾᐟ) (Blackfoot / Niitsítapi ᖹᐟᒧᐧᒣᑯ), Ktunaxa ɁamakɁis (https://www.ktunaxa.org/) and the Tsuu T'ina (https://tsuutinanation.com/) (according to native-land.ca).

I post this photo here under a Attribution-Non Commercial-Share Alike 4.0 International creative commons license, but admit that it is strange for a settler to give any kind of license for a photo of stolen land.
