Dr. Melody Lynch

(She/her)

I am an human-environment geographer with expertise in both social and natural sciences. My research sits at the intersection of environment, health, and social justice. I work with women, ethnic minorities and Indigenous groups on collaborative projects aimed at documenting and addressing structural inequalities in Southeast Asia and the Canadian Arctic.
