MRM (Planning)
Previous degrees: BA
My research evaluated equity and justice in urban coastal adaptation planning. Planning scholars and practitioners are integrating equity into coastal adaptation, yet standards for evaluating equity and justice in coastal adaptation planning have not been well outlined or applied.
My thesis was divided into two chapters. Chapter 1 is titled Evaluating Equity and Justice in Urban Coastal Adaptation Planning: Introducing the JustAdapt Framework, an evaluative framework using five forms of justice. Chapter 2 presents Evaluating Equity and Justice in Vancouver’s Sea2City Design Challenge, a case study analysis applying the JustAdapt framework to Vancouver’s Sea2City Design Challenge. Through this manuscript, I offer the JustAdapt Framework as a tool to disrupt dominant norms and inspire scholars and practitioners to embrace reflexivity and accountability as they plan with shifting tidelines.
In my spare time, I love to hike, bike, and dance and am proudly gaining confidence in gardening and rock climbing.
