dr. charles levkoe, canada research chair in sustainable food systems, associate professor in health sciences, and adjunct professor in the faculty of education, is leading a partnership that will receive $188,106 over the next three years.

the research project is entitled lake superior living labs network: enhancing capacity for regenerative social-ecological systems. co-investigators include faculty of education professors dr. constance russell and dr. david greenwood. 

this research will explore how postsecondary institutions might play a stronger role in advancing sustainability goals (including health and social and environmental justice) in the lake superior watershed by turning higher education institutions into hubs for interdisciplinary “living laboratories” that integrate teaching, research, place-based experiential learning, and community engagement.

the project brings together four universities to serve as hubs (阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 , university of minnesota duluth, algoma university, lake superior college - duluth) and numerous community organizations and first nations as partners through the new lake superior living labs network. more information is available at livinglabs.lakeheadu.ca.
