I am Professor of Anthropology at the University of Victoria and Chair of the Department. You can read about me on Wikipedia.

In 2023, I was awarded an Impact Award from Google for my work through UVic's Ethnographic Mapping Lab.

In May 2022 I was honoured with the Leadership Victoria award for Extending Reconcilation.

In 2021, I was named Provost's Engaged Scholar at UVic in recognition of my community-engaged research.

Key Moments in Becoming An Anthropologist: a 30 year reflection

In 2024 I was invited to present on my reflections of attending CASCA meetings for 30 years. That talk has been published in English here and in French here.

I am on several social media channels (below), though Facebook is mainly for family and friends.

My wife Karen Fediuk is an award-winning researcher who works on Indigenous food systems (www.karenfediuk.ca).

Our son Elwyn owns and operates Recertified Furniture, specializing in high quality used modern furniture.

Our son Alden is an avid freediver and fisher, please follow his popular YouTube fishing channel: https://youtube.com/@aldenpnw?si=sEaqPszh1iDpj8Dj

I have played D&D since the late 70s, and ran a long-time campaign [blog] now in hiatus. I look forward to playing again...
