About Janice Barry

My work concerns how planning decisions are made and the institutional structures (laws, policies, procedures and professional norms) that facilitate and impede meaningful engagement with diverse peoples and perspectives. I have a longstanding interest in planning with Indigenous peoples and have recently been expanding my research on participatory planning.
