Dr.
Harder is a registered psychologist specializing in rehabilitation and
family psychology. He holds a Doctorate in Counselling Psychology, and
has been in the field of vocational rehabilitation and disability
management for approximately 17 years. Prior to joining the faculty at
UNBC, he was in private practice in Vancouver and Delta, BC. He is also
a past Training Director for the National Institute of Disability
Management and Research as well as a former Director of Vocational
Rehabilitation Services Department at the Workers’ Compensation Board
of BC. Dr. Harder is a published author and has made presentations and
conducted workshops throughout Canada, the United States, and Europe. He also serves as Chair
for the Disability Management Program.
Dr. Chan was appointed as the holder of the prestigious BC
Leadership Chair in Aboriginal Environmental Health. He is also one of the 6
NSERC Northern Research Chairs across Canada. His work involves both basic and
applied research in environmental toxicology and nutritional toxicology. The
main objective of Dr. Chan’s program is to develop a risk-benefit paradigm that
focuses on traditional food systems in relation to the health status of the
Indigenous Peoples. Through his community-based participatory research
initiatives, expertise in toxicology, nutrition, and natural resources sciences
is integrated with local and traditional knowledge. Research results contribute
to the better understanding of the toxicology of environmental contaminants
found in the environment, the sources of different nutrients in the diet, and
environmental factors that can affect the availability of local resources.
In addition, there are extensive communication and education
programs to empower people to make informed food choices. It is expected that
proper traditional food choices, health practices, and lifestyles can be the
basis for appropriate biomedical and sociocultural solutions to environmental
disturbances.
