Team
C3V co-directors Nathan McClintock and Stéphane Guimont Marceau are professors in the Centre Urbanisation Culture Société at the Institut national de la recherche scientifique (INRS). They work closely with both their students and research partners. The C3V trains graduate students and undergraduate interns, but also empowers community partners by providing skills-training and capacity-building in research and knowledge mobilization. Our partners’ participation, in turn, ensures the co-creation of knowledge that is relevant and useful to their work.

Viviane Isabelle
Master's student, Anthropology (UdeM)
viviane.isabelle@inrs.ca
My project focuses on intentional communities, also known as eco-villages, in rural Quebec. I'm interested in the forms of (re)appropriation of the neo-artisanal activities housed there, in order to understand how these practices modify inter-species relations between human and non-human members of the community. Ethnography and participatory mapping will enable me to document these phenomena.
Lydia Risi
PhD candidate, Population Studies
lydia.risi@inrs.ca
My research interests lie at the intersections of pleasure, sexuality and activism. My doctoral project mobilizes beading circles as a methodological approach to investigate the scope of Inuit women's sexual pleasure narrative spaces in Nunavik.
Naomie Léonard
PhD candidate, Urban Studies
naomie.leonard@inrs.ca
My aim is to politicize intimacy by considering spaces of care as essential sites of social struggle. Adopting a decolonial ecofeminist stance, my research interests touch on the relations between bodies, emotions and territories in the context of resistance to colonialism and in social-ecological movements.
Lauryane Chevarie
Master's student, Urban Studies
lauryane.chevarie@inrs.ca
My project focuses on relations between aboriginal and non-aboriginal women in the city of Sept-Îles through bingo, identified as a meeting space. Through participant observation, focus groups and talking circles, I seek to understand the meanings women give to this space and the relationships that shape it.
Chandra Li Hernandez Joa
Master's student, Urban Studies
chandra.hernandez@inrs.ca
My research examines the factors that contribute to the well-being of temporary agricultural workers in Quebec. By focusing on their experiences, the study aims to identify the places, activities, people and organizations that play a key role in improving their quality of life despite the social and cultural challenges they face.
Sugir Selliah
PhD candidate, Urban Studies
sugir.selliah@inrs.ca
My research focuses on the botanical contributions, both tangible and intangible, of cultural diversity in urban environments. I'm interested in the diversity of agricultural and greening practices of ethnocultural groups, particularly racialized minorities, and in the issues related to the circulation of these practices in the Montreal borough of Villeray-St-Michel-Parc Extension. Linking urban ethnobotany and urban studies, I hope to co-create representative bio-cultural knowledge for and with these groups, and to develop a theoretical framework for “critical urban ethnobotanical research”.
Amed Aroche Hernandez
Master's student, Urban Studies
amed.aochehernandez@inrs.ca
In my thesis I explore how the presence of the internet in Cuba since 2016 has led to significant changes in the practice of political dissent between 2018 and 2021 by Havana-based artists who oppose the government. My research aims to understand the new logics of political action of these artists and the territorialization of their action. To do so, I draw on theories relating to logics of political action, artistic thought as political capital and digital urban articulation.
Vicky Tremblay
Master's student, Knowledge Mobilization and Transfer
vicky.tremblay@inrs.ca
My project focuses on the recognition and support of Indigenous artists and cultures in rural and urban (off-reserve) Quebec. I combine the mobilization and transfer of knowledge with my artistic and cultural media practices to reflect on cultural development and create collective, educational, participatory and inclusive works.
Caroline Flory-Célini
PhD candidate, Urban Studies
caroline.flory-celini@inrs.ca
Afro-descendants are often portrayed in spaces of death and dying. Yet many of them are developing life-giving initiatives such as community gardens and other forms of urban agriculture. That's one of the aims of this research, these urban agricultural spaces developed by both historic and newly-arrived communities, both English-speaking and French-speaking.
Laurie Hétu
Master's student, Urban Studies
laurie.hetu@inrs.ca
I'm interested in the everyday governance of food in Inuit Nunangat, particularly among Inuit women. My project aims to document women's discourses and practices, and to compare this governance with that promoted by institutions. Through interviews and talking circles, I use a gender perspective to shed light on the agency of Inuit women within food projects.
Alexandre Chanady
PhD candidate, Urban Studies
alexandre.chanady@inrs.ca
My doctoral research focuses on the patrimonialization of LGBTQ sites in Montreal, i.e. their valorization and protection. I am particularly interested in the processes and modalities that underlie the implementation of these initiatives, notably through semi-directed interviews conducted with actors (from the political, community and activist spheres in particular) involved in LGBTQ patrimonialization.
Hubert Demers-Campeau
Master's student, Population Studies
hubert.demers.campeau@inrs.ca
My research is taking place in Nunavik on the relationship between Inuit youth and their food system, in order that their experiences and aspirations may be considered in planning food policies. Through a Photovoice approach, young people will be able to engage in a participatory and reflexive activity on their relationship to traditional and southern food.
Kelly Minh Quan Vu
C3V Lab Manager / Master's student, Urban Studies
kelly.vu@inrs.ca
My research interests focus on racialization in processes of urban transformation, with a particular interest in gentrification. My thesis examines the sociospatial practices of racialized youth in Parc-Extension, using the walking interview method to understand the impact of gentrification on these practices.
Lucie Cordier
Master's student, Population Studies
lucie.cordier@inrs.ca
My project focuses on the potential of community energy in Nunavik as a model for renewing relations between Inuit and non-Inuit in Quebec.
