Emily Eaton is an associate professor in the Department of Geography and Environmental Studies at the University of Regina. She is a white settler doing community-based research, teaching and service devoted to addressing the climate and inequality crises at local and national scales. Central to this work is understanding the power and influence of the fossil fuel industries and mapping pathways to climate action that prioritize the needs of marginalized communities and that rectify the unjust colonial relationship that Canada has with Indigenous Peoples. She is the author of two books: Fault Lines: Life and Landscape in Saskatchewan's Oil Economy and Growing Resistance: Canadian Farmers and the Politics of Genetically Modified Wheat. She has been studying Saskatchewan's oil economy since 2010.
