New Book: "Local Communities and the Mining Industry: Economic Potential and Social and Environmental Responsibilities"

Submitted by dfoolen on April 17th, 2023 2:10 PM

Drs. Sheri Longboat and Nicolas Brunet published an edited book this month entitled "Local Communities and the Mining Industry: Economic Potential and Social and Environmental Responsibilities." The book explores the challenges and opportunities at the intersection of the global mining sector and local communities by focusing on a number of international cases drawn from various locations in Canada, the Philippines, and Scandinavia. A number of students and faculty from SEDRD were involved in this effort which was funded by a five-year SSHRC Insight Grant. The book is available via Routledge [1].
