More specifically, it is about transformative change in a community context and how certain relations and perceptions of relations help and hinder this work. The dissertation presents a transdisciplinary study situated within transformations research and anchored in human geography and Indigenous studies. It responds to the growing concern that while the need for transformative change is becoming increasingly evident, it is less clear how to move society towards sustainability in ways that are both equitable and just. Grounded in ‘the relational turn’ within the humanities and social sciences, the research takes a ‘deep’ relational approach to the study of relations for deliberate transformations, engaging with Indigenous and posthumanist ontologies that center on the potentials and responsibilities inherent in a world of relations.
