Chew’s work bridges environmental science and anthropology, exploring how communication practices shape resource management decisions. She investigates ontological differences between Western and Indigenous knowledge systems, particularly in Arctic contexts, and advocates for decolonized approaches to climate change governance. Her recent projects include studies on country food sharing as a communicative practice and Inuit participatory governance in the Western Arctic.
