I am a PhD Candidate in DVM and very happy to be representing GDVM as your President this year! My thesis work looks at labour, environment and gender in Vietnamese offshore fisheries, and my broader research interests include social and environmental justice in the context of large-scale environmental resource extraction. My goal this year is to help ensure that you are supported through your peer community by working with the rest of the team to continue to build a collaborative, engaging, and fun environment for all of us at SIDGS. Please reach out to let us know how we can best support you and any initiatives that you would like to see from us this year.

Ma thèse porte sur le travail, l'environnement et le genre dans les pêcheries vietnamiennes, et mes intérêts de recherche plus larges incluent la justice sociale et environnementale dans le contexte de l'extraction de ressources environnementales à grande échelle. Mon objectif cette année est de faire en sorte que vous soyez soutenus par votre communauté de pairs en travaillant avec le reste de l'équipe pour continuer à construire un environnement collaboratif, engageant et amusant à SIDGS.

Rachel Heron
VP, Social and Communications | VP, Social et des Communications
Hi all, my name is Rachel and I am the Vice-President, Social and Communications this year! I am entering the second year of my Master's at uOttawa and hold a BA Honours in International Development Studies with a Specialization in Latin America from Trent University.
As a student who began their graduate studies during the Covid-19 pandemic, I am keenly aware of the struggles and disconnection associated with the online learning environment. I originally joined GDVM last year as the Secretary-Treasurer for the Association but I took the initiative to promote strong relationships amongst my peers by creating and monitoring various outlets for connection outside of class and organizing in-class games. I am determined to continue this work as your Social and Communications Representative where my focus will be on reducing isolation and building a strong community amongst GDVM students.

Représentante anglophone des étudiants au doctorat
Hi fellow graduate students - I am happy to represent the DVM PhD Anglophone students this year. My masters research looked at plastic waste policies in Vietnam, and now that I've been through my PhD courses, I'm embarking on the research proposal process again for my data collection, looking broadly at questions of labor, justice, and the environment in Southeast Asia. In my current role, I aim to continue to build on the collaborative, and supportive graduate community that we have at uOttawa, despite many of us being geographically dispersed. I hope to meet many of you, either virtually or in person at some point over the next year.
