Biography
Dr. Gibson's research explores the cultural aspects of movement - where, why and how people move - while also investigating the material traces of that movement - the roads, paths and places of significance born through that movement. Her ongoing program of research explores the intersection of heritage, identity and movement in two contexts - in British Columbia with the indigenous Stl'atl'imx of the Lower Lillooet River Valley (SSHRC Postdoctoral Research Fellowship 2011-2013) and in Cyprus among the people of the Adephi Forest, Cyprus.
