Oliver Kerr

Undergraduate Research Assistant 

Oliver (they/them) is a second year Geography student at the University of Victoria. Their focus is on geographic information systems, exploring the ways in which innovations in mapping can make spatial data more accessible to underrepresented groups. They also have a background in decolonial theory, specifically Latin American pluriversality. At the Environmental Governance Lab, Oliver is working on a literature review with Dr. Hinton, examining the current academic conversation around decolonizing food systems. In future, they hope to work at the intersection of technical and critical geographies.
