SuliaKaKatigelluta: Community monitoring of plastic pollution in Nunatsiavut

What does a good research partnership look like?

Liz Pijogge, Northern Contaminants Researcher for the Nunatsiavut Government and Dr. Max Liboiron, professor at Memorial University, tell the story of how they met, how they do research together, and how it's a model of capacity "sharing" instead of capacity "building" to conduct plastic pollution research in Nunatsiavut.

In this short film produced by Couple3 Films, Ms. Pijogge and Dr. Liboiron discuss their research partnership, their processes and the work of community monitoring in Nunatsiavut.
