Alisa Koebel

Alisa Koebel graduated from the Peter A. Allard School of Law with a J.D. and a specialization in Environmental and Natural Resource Law.  She began her work on Indigenous geographies with organizations such as West Coast Environmental Law and Sierra Club BC, taking an intersectional, justice-based approach to environmental law.  Her work and research interests include the application of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) in Canadian law, criminal justice, environmental justice and regulatory law, sustainable food systems, and land-based decolonization and reconciliation as a settler on unceded territories.  She thanks the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and səl̓ilwətaɁɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) peoples on whose land she does this work.
