Christiana Onabola

Christiana’s research interest is in environmental health and use of eco-social theory in exploring health and its intersections with socio-ecological issues, while focusing on understanding of equity and inequities. She completed her PhD in the Faculty of Human and Health Sciences at UNBC. Her doctoral research draws attention to potential use of the Sustainable Development Goals as a cross-sectoral platform for exploring how externalities of the land-water-energy nexus impact on equitable distribution of social and ecological determinants of health at a watershed scale. The work is funded by the Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarship and supported by the Environment Community and Health Observatory (ECHO) Network. Interdisciplinary by training, she holds a Master of Public Policy and Global Affairs from UBC, where she majored in environmental sustainability and resource management.
