Ms. Christianne V. Stephens is a Ph.D. Candidate in Anthropology at McMaster University and Research Associate in Ecosystem Health (Department of Pathology) in the Schulich School of Medicine and Dentistry at the University of Western Ontario, Canada. Her areas of expertise include medical and environmental anthropology, historical epidemiology, and Aboriginal health issues in Canada. Ms. Stephens' doctoral research deploys ethnographic data to investigate water quality issues at the Walpole Island First Nation, a Southwestern Ontario Native community located downstream from one of Canada's largest petrochemical centres. Her study illuminates how contaminants discourses derived from interviews with different sub-groups in the Walpole Island community reveal cultural constructions and understandings of nature, ecological stewardship, environmental risks and health and well-being.
