Dacotah-Victoria Splichalova is a Public Scholar Initiative student and doctoral student with Dr. Leila Harris in the Resources, Environment and Sustainability program at the University of British Columbia. She has recently been featured for her work on water insecurity, “Narratives of Water: Exploring Hydrosocial Relations and Water (In)security in Canada and New Zealand.”
Short description from her feature:
PSI Scholar and doctoral student Dacotah-Victoria’s research considers humans’ relations and connections – to water and lived-experiences of water (in)security. Engaging in knowledge co-creation and creative arts-based approaches of storytelling, theatre and film, this partner-led research in Canada and New Zealand explores the social dimensions of water beyond measurements of quality and quantity – culture, values, identity… and their inclusion to mobilize and encourage varied conversations and responses to water (in)security.
