Andrea Tremblay Bio

Andrea Tremblay

I am a doctoral student in the INDI program at Concordia University. I hold a BA in French Literature from the University of Montreal, a Graduate Diploma in Communications, and an MA in Media Studies from Concordia University. 

My research aims to explore urban agriculture’s potential to create opportunities for intergenerational vulnerable communities to develop connections to natural elements and to build sustainable care practices that promote resiliency and food security in times of societal, health, and climate crisis. 

During my MA, I used research-creation as a methodology to design and create the mind.heart.mouth intergenerational garden on the Loyola campus of Concordia University. This garden presents opportunities for all members of the Concordia community to engage in hands-on urban agriculture practices through experiential learning and to benefit from healthy organic produce. I am passionate for this research work that drives the development of my expertise in relation to sustainability, urban agriculture, vulnerable communities, food insecurity, and food systems from a feminist materialist perspective.

I have been working with Ageing - Communication - Technology (ACT) at Concordia University, in various capacities since the summer of 2018.

I enjoy daily walks on the mountain with my dogs.
