Sarah C. Moritz is an environmental anthropologist and director of the SEA Lab « SEAL » (Storytelling, Ethnography & Action Lab) at Thompson River University.
Her work focuses on Indigenous relational ecologies, territories of life and relational theories of the ‘good life’, matriarchal oral history and governance especially in Salish and Arctic home places and with a strong focus on water and fish. She also researches and teaches Indigenous rights, self-determination, human-animal relationships, stewardship practices, decolonial research methods, ecological anthropology and the history of anthropology, especially Boasian, Arctic and Action Anthropology among others.
She embraces teaching, research and (grassroots) activism within a triad and as an integrated praxis. She aims to bridge these in much of my scholarly work and her own life project. She is committed to decolonial, intersectional and grassroots pedagogies echoing our diverse student body.
The wild salmon life cycle for the renewal of a good life is her guiding metaphor that accompanies her through rivers, oceans, research, teaching and community-based advocacy and action.
