Christiana Onabola, MPPGA, BSc

PhD Candidate

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 is a Ph.D. candidate 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.
