Adjunct Professor
Dawn Hoogeveen is an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Health Sciences at Simon Fraser University's Faculty of Health Sciences. Her work focuses on environmental politics, Indigenous studies, and public health, with a particular emphasis on resource extraction impacts and Indigenous health frameworks. She holds a PhD from the University of British Columbia, an MA from Simon Fraser University, and a BA (Hons) from Carleton University. Her research integrates mixed methods and community-based approaches to examine health and environmental justice, including projects on Indigenous-led health impact assessments and climate change resilience. She collaborates closely with organizations like the First Nations Health Authority and the Indigenous Centre for Cumulative Impacts, advancing initiatives such as the Dasiqox Nexwagwez?an Indigenous Protected Area in Tsilhqot’in territory. Her work often critiques settler-colonial frameworks in environmental policy and advocates for decolonized, community-driven solutions. Hoogeveen’s recent publications highlight intersectional analyses of resource extraction, gender-based policy frameworks (GBA+), and decolonizing planetary health. Her projects explore topics like industrial camps’ gendered impacts, queer environmental regulation, and the integration of Indigenous knowledge into health reporting. She actively participates in advocacy roles, including president of the Strathcona Community Centre Association and membership in the Canadian Environmental Network’s Environment Planning and Assessment Caucus. Her current research includes 'Healing Indicators' frameworks for Indigenous health, land-based healing through Indigenous Protected Areas, and climate change strategies in British Columbia. She emphasizes collaboration across sectors to address systemic inequities in environmental and health policy.
