Biography

Emily Salmon (she/her) is a Cowichan Tribes member and works and lives in her home territory. Her research explores how stakeholder groups can better increase their overall well-being from their relationships with external firms (primarily within the context of Indigenous communities and extractive projects in Canada) alongside pedagogical research that explores efforts to Indigenize the business school. Her PhD thesis, titled "Through the Looking Glass - Strategies in Achieving Stakeholder Performance" explores how mining projects impact the wellbeing of Indigenous Communities, and how different firm-community agreements influence these outcomes. Within this research, she weaves together Indigenous methodologies and Western quantitative methods to support informed consent and community decision-making processes.

Beyond academia, her professional experiences have spanned multiple roles, all in supporting Indigenous communities in their journeys of self-determination, with a focus on economic development, administrative governance, and human resources management.
