Welcome to the Gender, Environment, and Social Inequity Laboratory. We are a dynamic research hub based at the University of Regina. Our laboratory serves as a collaborative space for researchers, students, and community partners.

Our Thematic Focus

Climate Change & Climate Hazards

Climate Change & Climate Hazards We study the complex lived realities of changing climatic conditions and extreme weather events. 

Community Engaged Research

Community Engaged Research We are deeply committed to community engagement. We do not just study communities from afar. 

Gender & Social Inequity

We examine how gender, class, culture, and other social factors shape the experience of climate hazards in different communities—rural, urban, and Indigenous.

Rural Communities, Agriculture & Food

Drought, flooding, and grassfires directly affect agricultural producers’ livelihood and wellbeing, and rural municipalities are on the front lines of climate disaster response.

Research Methodology

Research Methods Our team has expertise in a variety of social research methods, especially qualitative and participatory research techniques.

Meet Our Director

Dr. Amber Fletcher’s research examines how gender and social inequality shape the lived experience of climate change through the lens of climate disasters (flooding, drought, and wildfire). Focusing on rural and Indigenous communities in the Canadian Prairie region, her work reveals the lived impact of inequality in the context of crisis.
