 lhoward [at] ucalgary [dot] ca

Biography:

Lynda Howard joined the ASTIS project in the Spring of 1990. Her research and consulting background is in the area of social impact assessment, with a focus on land-based people and the impact of development on their communities, social relationships and cultures. Her work with Dome Petroleum in its Northern Affairs Department and with the Arctic Institute's Native Employment and Training Study provided a context that continues to be useful in regard to much of her work as an information analyst with the ASTIS project. Working for ASTIS has given her opportunities to work in the North, on occasion, and the much valued flexibility in work and holiday schedules so that she can seek out good conditions for play time in the mountains. Lynda has several degrees from the University of Calgary: BA in Sociology, and Masters from the Faculty of Environmental Design and from the Faculty of Communications and Culture.

Biography:

Upon returning to Calgary in the summer of 1980, after teaching in northern Alberta in a "Cultural Awareness through Native Arts and Crafts" program, Lynne was offered casual work at AINA. This work for archaeologists Drs. Peter Schledermann and James Helmer led her, in January of 1981, to work with ASTIS as an Information Analyst. She has watched the ASTIS project go from strength to strength under the guiding hand of Ross Goodwin and weathered many economic storms through the terrible 80s. She appreciates the flexibility of her work schedule to pursue her interests in teaching traditional rug hooking, sea kayaking, skate skiing and easy mountaineering. She holds a BA in archaeology and art history, a diploma of horticulture, and is an accredited McGowan instructor of traditional rug hooking.

Biography:

Melanie returned to the University of Calgary in February 2011, after a two-year hiatus spent in the retail sector at the perpetually busy Apple Store. Melanie graduated from the University of Wyoming in 1996 with a Master of Science degree in Organic Chemistry, but realized soon thereafter that she preferred the administrative aspects of the laboratory to synthesizing new compounds.
