Grounded in Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR), her work foregrounds the co-production of knowledge and relational methodologies that value lived experience and community expertise. Danae’s research journey began with an interest in WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene) and Waste Management issues in the Koforidua Zongo community in Ghana, where she conducted a pilot community mapping study in 2019. With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, her work shifted focus, yet remained rooted in her commitment to participatory, community-engaged inquiry. Her final thesis explored the material, cultural, and relational factors that foster health, wellbeing, and sustainable livelihoods in the Koforidua Zongo community. Drawing on in-depth conversations and photo-narratives with community members, Danae highlighted how shared values, cultural practices, and social cohesion promote collective thriving and mutual care. The study offers a counter-narrative to dominant deficit-based representations of Zongo communities, illuminating the richness, resilience, and interrelations that characterize everyday life in Koforidua Zongo. Through collaborative analysis and knowledge sharing—including the co-creation of a short film—the thesis contributes to the growing body of research advancing ethical, community-driven research. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a1cacfff43b5510c0ef8bfa/815582b9-34ae-4db3-b8f5-76cae2faef91/unnamed+%281%29.jpg Our Team - Katya Leslie Adams Building on previous work that highlights the key role of Diverters — Victoria’s locally organized waste pickers — in driving Circular Economy flows, Katya’s research in connection with the Community Based Research Lab (CBRL) at the University of Victoria explored the potential impact these actors could have on advancing holistic sustainable development within Victoria’s local food systems. The study included interviews with representatives from industry, municipal government, and non-profit organisations, as well as a solutions-based focus group involving Diverters and members of the Food Share Network, to evaluate the feasibility of integrating Diverter services into Victoria’s food recovery web. The research found that Diverters are best positioned to address a transportation niche within food redistribution systems, thereby enhancing the resilience and flexibility of regional food diversion programs as well as demonstrating the innovative potential of collectivised waste pickers. Equally significant were the broader socio-cultural benefits that were found to be associated with the implementation of such an initiative, which indicate that Diverter involvement in food recovery could foster greater inter-organizational collaboration; encourage sharing economies; improve public education; as well as legitimise, destigmatize and make visible waste picking work — ultimately contributing to greater community cohesion. Complementing previous studies conducted within the CRBL, this research underscores the importance of empowering and including waste pickers within Circular Economy transitions to (co)create waste management systems that are not only environmentally sustainable and economically profitable, but also socially regenerative. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a1cacfff43b5510c0ef8bfa/1580793383687-G6E4H8YMRRY6FFN5NXRK/IMG_9601.jpg Our Team - Julian S.

I started to develop this concern, specifically with regard to the places we are inhabiting, as I have learned to observe more carefully. This is why I spent almost a decade studying and researching the cities as the places that encompass our lives and shape the quality of that. Born in Isfahan, Iran, Bita curiously chose to gain her bachelor’s in Urban Planning from the Art University of Isfahan. Then, she pursued her MA in Urban Design at Art University, Tehran. Since 2016, she has been a member of the “Virtual Reality and Emerging Technologies Lab” at the Art University of Tehran. After years of studying and working, I came to the belief that participatory approaches are the most advantageous in helping us to further the edges of our knowledge. In doing so, technology, specifically VR, has a lot to offer to our research in facilitating the ways of participation. Now, as a masters student in the Geography department at UVIC, delving deeper into the use of tech, I am utilizing the potential of VR to understand waste pickers’ daily life in their workplaces to increase awareness and contribute to the betterment of their lives. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a1cacfff43b5510c0ef8bfa/89064b68-a4ab-4875-8194-a2baadb6ea77/Fabio.jpg Our Team - Fabio Luiz Cardozo Fabio, resident of the East Zone of São Paulo, Historian, Master's student in Sustainability at the University of São Paulo (USP).

This includes exploring the ways in which community groups actively participate in waste reduction and diversion techniques like separating recyclable materials or recovering food waste. Public and private institutions have the great opportunity to promote a localized circular economy by creating avenues and markets for the valuable materials in the waste stream. Further, using community based research highlights the ways in which we as academics can break down the 'ivory tower' and make the knowledge production processes more accessible.

Wuni’s desire is to critically explore how institutions of higher learning in developing countries, as model societies, can lead the quest for a circular economy at different levels and in varying contexts. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a1cacfff43b5510c0ef8bfa/b1cb3ab3-bd14-4380-8fe1-2b00309d3921/E204EEF1-FFD3-4160-8D0A-1E3D0E43AE0D.jpg Our Team - Lusungu Kayani Lusungu Kayani was born in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania and grew up in the U.S. She received a Master's in Urban Planning from New York University where she was a David Bohnett Fellow in Public Service. Prior to this, Lusungu studied International Affairs at Columbia University. As an urban planner and international development practitioner, Lusungu has experience working with city and local governments in Africa, Asia and Latin America. She served as an advisor with international organizations such as the United Nations Center for Human Settlements (UN-Habitat), Vital Strategies, UNICEF and most recently, with the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa. Her work focuses on the role cities play in ensuring an equitable and sustainable future for our planet, especially through the lens of health and well-being. In recent projects, she has worked to better understand how urban environments specifically support the health and development of children and adolescents. Lusungu's research interests are focused on the role the informal sector plays in the circular economy, particularly how central the sector is to the development of long-term strategies and roadmaps in rapidly urbanizing cities in Africa. She wants to investigate the economic and ecological contributions of the informal sector and document their efforts through her work. She is also passionate about connecting the opportunities for improved health and well-being of youth through innovations in waste management. https://www.cbrl.uvic.ca/new-events-1 daily 0.75 2025-12-21 https://www.cbrl.uvic.ca/new-events-1/2025/12/21/making-our-waste-visible monthly 0.5 2025-12-22 https://www.cbrl.uvic.ca/new-events-1/2025/3/14/feminist-counter-mapping-as-an-act-of-reclaiming-spaces monthly 0.5 2025-02-26 https://www.cbrl.uvic.ca/new-events-1/2025/3/14/integrating-waste-pickers-into-waste-management-in-the-context-of-a-just-transition-to-the-circular-economy monthly 0.5 2025-02-26 https://www.cbrl.uvic.ca/new-events-1/2025/2/28/colonial-legacies-legal-orders-and-land-relations-understanding-the-power-of-boundary-demarcations-in-transforming-the-commons monthly 0.5 2025-02-02 https://www.cbrl.uvic.ca/new-events-1/cbrltalkssusanneborner monthly 0.5 2025-01-20 https://www.cbrl.uvic.ca/new-events-1/2024/12/10/participatory-mapping-on-community-research-workshop monthly 0.5 2024-12-11 https://www.cbrl.uvic.ca/new-events-1/2024/12/5/democratizing-ai-research-a-focus-on-openais-researcher-access-program-and-technical-capacity-building monthly 0.5 2024-12-11 https://www.cbrl.uvic.ca/past-events daily 0.75 2025-06-25 https://www.cbrl.uvic.ca/home daily 0.75 2016-05-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a74d9ae4b0253945d2aee9/1535394867157-MTQAOAQPKWQ68DDY1HTW/tumblr_mn8b8sLRb61rkz363o1_1280.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a74d9ae4b0253945d2aee9/1535394848185-CGDDU4QCIRSO4U1270H3/image-asset.jpeg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a74d9ae4b0253945d2aee9/1391287286405-92Z4A4R3T2ZSZAKNVS9V/image-asset.jpeg Home - Transient https://www.cbrl.uvic.ca/what-we-do daily 0.75 2018-01-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a74d9ae4b0253945d2aee9/1390513380961-PTHFXE5U2S1FJSLPXUSD/tumblr_mh1iruZWLf1rkz363o1_1280.jpg What We Do https://www.cbrl.uvic.ca/home-top daily 0.75 2018-02-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a1cacfff43b5510c0ef8bfa/1518116482311-2UMDQ3AZOR3C3XT4GOYC/35736162475_3deb2b1b8d_o.jpg Home Top https://www.cbrl.uvic.ca/pswm daily 0.75 2025-06-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a1cacfff43b5510c0ef8bfa/1518113974046-O89V6OPYR9XSK9MMPRW2/participatory+mapping Participatory Sustainable Waste Management Balancing power relations: participatory mapping and knowledge sharing from unheard voices, misrecognised actors and powerful actors (government and academia).

We then illuminate some of our findings on grassroots innovations involving waste pickers or waste workers in these cities. Both research projects combine multi-case studies of waste picker groups and local government initiatives, apply qualitative research tools and participatory action research (e.g. photo voice, participant observation, workshops, surveys and interviews). We are interested in understanding processes, challenges and opportunities related to how these grassroots initiatives and networks operate to bring about socio-environmental and economic change? How they address challenges and what the assets are in everyday waste governance that can be explored to make waste governance more sustainable and thus more inclusive? Researchers involved in these two projects, key stakeholders from grassroots initiatives in these countries, representatives from some international waste picker networks and local and regional government officials from Kisumu, Kenya, met between 23rd and 29th of April 2018, in Kisumu to present and discuss the results of the first year of research activities, which are herewith documented. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a1cacfff43b5510c0ef8bfa/1594403396073-LP6TBFBFSZP2SFU1D4F2/Logos+International+Partners.png Mapping Waste Governance https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a1cacfff43b5510c0ef8bfa/1518821469749-ULBLFRNDDFE1WMTHISPJ/DSC00102.jpeg Mapping Waste Governance https://www.cbrl.uvic.ca/recycling-networks daily 0.75 2023-10-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a1cacfff43b5510c0ef8bfa/1594403440063-Y7KQ75A3MXJSR2B5U074/Logos+International+Partners.png Recycling Networks https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a1cacfff43b5510c0ef8bfa/1516249224402-4AQIZGCDMJURYR1ZBDZV/GrantEaton_RagPicker_India.jpg Recycling Networks Rag Picker in India.
