Megan Muller

Dr. Megan Muller recently completed her Doctorate of Philosophy (anthropology) at Carleton University. She applies a collaborative ethnographic methodology to leverage research capacity to inform inter-agency collaboration and collective problem solving for increasing health equity, especially in the areas of Indigenous health and culturally safe health services.

Megan was awarded a Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research dissertation award for her doctoral research, titled Nursing and Nation-Rebuilding: an Ethnography of Care in the Context of Indigenous Self-Determination. She subsequently received a CIHR Health System Impact Fellowship, hosted by the SE Health Care Research Centre. Through this opportunity, she coordinated the Nuu-chah-nulth Patient Voices Project, which utilizes video stories and brokered dialogue to address anti-Indigenous systemic racism from the perspective of patients and health care providers.

As a Michael Smith Foundation Research Trainee, Megan will continue her ongoing collaboration with Indigenous communities, focusing specifically on the experiences of first responders working in remote Nuu-chah-nulth communities.
