Personal Profile
Dr. Nicole Power is a feminist sociologist. Much of her research has focused on the gender impacts of fisheries restructuring on work and workers in fisheries communities, and young people鈥檚 experiences and understandings of work, life and outmigration in fisheries communities. Her research has also focused on health and safety in diverse work contexts including fisheries, corrections, skilled trades, high-risk work, and most recently, academia.
Currently, she is co-investigator with the Ocean Frontier Institute examining issues related to recruitment, training and retention in fisheries; equity and diversity in fisheries; and the intersection of systems of oppression and fish ontologies. She is also co-investigator with the SSHRC-CIHR Partnership Healthy Professional/Knowledge Workers, co-leading a case study on gender and mental health in the academy. In her spare time, she is carrying out a pilot project on students鈥 and researchers鈥 experiences of working with animals in research, and teaching and learning contexts.
