About
Introduction
Integrating ideas, people, and projects for optimal outcomes. I’m what you might call a generalist specialist who thrives and strives to uplift others.
Dr. Scott Harrison
Connecting Histories, Shaping Futures
With over two decades of experience bridging research, writing, and programming on Canada-Asia/Indo-Pacific and Indigenous relations, I connect histories to shape futures. My multidisciplinary approach—rooted in international human rights, Indigenous leadership, and global Indigenous movements—builds on life-changing experiences spanning rock climbing explorations, living in Japan, and culminating in doctoral research.
I spent a decade in think tanks bridging government, business, academia, and civil society. I tackled security, trade, environment, technology, health, politics, Indigenous issues and more. The story continues. Join me.
