Zoe Todd, an associate professor of Indigenous Studies and Canada Research Chair (Tier 2) in Indigenous Governance and Freshwater Fish Futures at 91ÅÝܽ (SFU), is collaborating with experts to bring greater public awareness to threatened fish habitats in the Prairies and Western Canada.

Todd has been awarded a to lead the project "Freshwater Fish Futures: An Immersive Research-Creation Workshop, Speakers' Series, and Online Exhibit."

The project creates opportunities for scholars, community leaders, artists, scientists, lawyers, and advocates to collaborate, exchange knowledge, and participate in training and mentorship.

Drawing on Todd's expertise in Critical Indigenous Fish Philosophy and land-based art/research in environmental governance, the project includes the second annual 'Fish School', which is an interdisciplinary research-creation methods workshop; a freshwater fish futures speakers' series; and an online Freshwater Fish Futures research-creation exhibit.

Through these outreach initiatives, the project brings together established and emerging leaders on freshwater fish protection issues in the prairies and western Canada to share strategies to safeguard the future of fish and their habitats.
