Biography

Megan Muller completed her Doctorate of Philosophy in Anthropology at Carleton University. She employs collaborative ethnographic methodologies to enhance research capacity, inform inter-agency collaboration, and address collective problem-solving aimed at increasing health equity, particularly in Indigenous health and culturally safe health services. Megan received the Wenner-Gren Foundation Anthropological Research dissertation award for her doctoral research titled 'Nursing Nation-Rebuilding: Ethnography Care Context Indigenous Self-Determination'. She later obtained a CIHR Health System Impact Fellowship, hosted by SE Health Care Research Centre, which provided her the opportunity to coordinate the Nuu-chah-nulth Patient Voices Project. This project utilizes video stories to foster dialogue to address anti-Indigenous systemic racism from the perspectives of patients and health care providers. Additionally, as a Michael Smith Foundation Research Trainee, Megan continues her collaboration with Indigenous communities, particularly focusing on the experiences of responders working in remote Nuu-chah-nulth communities.
