Victoria Peemot is a Researcher at the University of Helsinki, affiliated with the Department of Finnish, Finno-Ugrian and Scandinavian Studies and the Helsinki Institute of Sustainability Science (HELSUS). She serves as Supervisor for the Doctoral Programme in Political, Societal and Regional Change, focusing on Indigenous communities across Siberia and Inner Asia. Her work bridges academic research with decolonial praxis through sustained fieldwork in Tyva and surrounding regions. Peemot's research interrogates multispecies relationalities, particularly human-animal-plant connections, within Indigenous epistemologies. She examines equine bonds, plant animacy, and museum representations through decolonizing methodologies, challenging Western ontological frameworks. Her scholarship centers Siberian Indigenous perspectives on environmental sustainability, memory politics, and cultural resilience, often revealing how nonhuman entities shape social and ecological systems. Analysis of her publications reveals consistent thematic threads: Tyvan cultural practices (2017-2025), museum decolonization (2023-2024), and multispecies kinship frameworks (2019-2025). Her work increasingly integrates sensory ethnography and nonlinear time concepts, demonstrating evolution from specific case studies toward broader theoretical contributions in Indigenous environmental humanities. As a doctoral supervisor, Peemot mentors emerging scholars in Indigenous and sustainability studies. She leads multiple externally funded projects including the Kone Foundation-supported 'Biocultural heritage and nonlinear time' (2023-2026) and 'Fieldwork in The Republic of Tyva, Russia' (ongoing since 2015), securing sustained research support for Siberian Indigenous scholarship. Peemot's international collaborations span institutions like Pontifica Universidad Catolica del Peru, with fieldwork connecting Finnish academic resources to Siberian Indigenous communities. Her research infrastructure includes partnerships with the Museum of Cultural History (Oslo) and HELSUS, creating platforms for Indigenous knowledge exchange beyond traditional academic boundaries.

His work explores place-based and arts-based learning, land-based education, political philosophy, teacher autonomy, and social justice initiatives. This dual focus manifests in publications examining philosophical walks, emplaced transcendence, and pandemic-responsive adaptations of environmental pedagogy, while maintaining critical analysis of teacher training frameworks and educational power structures. His recent scholarly output shows increasing emphasis on ecological education, with 8 of 15 most recent publications (2019-2023) addressing environmental themes. Stickney bridges theoretical philosophy with practical classroom applications, particularly in sustainability education where he developed OISE's Master of Teaching sustainability course through improvisational methods during the pandemic. His editorial work supports emerging scholars while his international conference participation extends OISE's academic reach. Stickney has supervised two doctoral candidates to completion (OISE 2013, York 2018) and mentors students through Master of Teaching courses in Sustainability Education and Social Sciences.
