Teagan Gran-Ruaz

Teagan Gran-Ruaz is an MA Student in the Department of Geography, Environment, and Geomatics at the University of Ottawa. After completing my undergraduate degree at the University of Ottawa in an BSocSci Environmental Economics and Public Policy (Minor in Biology), I decided to pursue my passion in health geography and environmental resilience. My current research focuses on understanding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Canadian child care programs including the burden placed on child care professionals. Through this research, I hope to improve resilience in the Canadian Child Care sector and take a humanistic approach to understanding the impact of environmental shocks on essential workers. As I continue along my academic journey my goal is to take these themes of resiliency and apply them to urban environments that face the consequences of anthropogenic climate change.
