Logo for the Oral Health and Swallowing Research Lab

Our lab is located in Kjipuktuk (Halifax), situated within Mi’kma’ki (Nova Scotia), the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq People. As we work and learn on this territory, we pay respect to the Indigenous knowledge held by the Mi’kmaq People and to the wisdom of their Elders, past and present.


We recognize that African Nova Scotians histories, legacies, and contributions have enriched Mi’kma’ki for over 400 years. Being situated in Kjipuktuk, we acknowledge the historical injustices faced by the community of Africville who was forcefully displaced in the 1960s.
