Dr Catherine Nolin is an Associate Professor in the Geography Program at the University of Northern British Columbia, where she has held a faculty appointment since 2002. Catherine is a social geographer (scholar/activist or activist/scholar?) with two broad areas of research interest that connect in many ways & often overlap: Migration/Transnationalism/Refugee Studies and Guatemala/Violence/Development/Justice. Catherine has run four very successful Guatemala Field Schools (2004, 2006, 2008, 2010), for which she received a UNBC Excellence in Teaching Award in 2007, and the 2009 J. Alistair McVey Award for Teaching Excellence from the Western Division of the Canadian Association of Geographers.
