Constructing resiliencies: support through learning in Nunavut Canada

This research project sought to better understand how education and learning facilitate resiliencies in life in the Canadian Arctic. The broad concept of resiliency will be examined within this study with the particular focus being on how women's experiences of education and learning enable the development of individual and communal resiliencies against social health challenges including suicide and violence. The unique Inuit knowledge culture heritage and language play important roles in identity formation and resiliencies. The dissertation and papers as outcomes of this research will investigate these interplays while broadening out the analysis to investigate wider elements of resiliency.
