Janice Barry’s research focuses on collaborative approaches to planning, both in terms of the relationships between different levels and forms of government and with various citizen groups. Her research explores tensions between the transformative and regressive potential of collaborative planning, with a particular interest in how the norms and discourses embedded in written planning policy and procedure shape the depth and breadth of shared decision-making processes. While she is broadly interested in and enjoys working with students who are investigating different types of collaborative planning, Dr. Barry’s own research is centred on planning with Indigenous peoples.
Her previous work as a protected area planner with the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources inspired her doctoral and postdoctoral research on different approaches to engaging Indigenous peoples in the planning of public lands. Although her early research and professional experiences were on natural resource planning, Dr. Barry also examines on how Indigenous rights and title are addressed in the urban environment. She is particularly interested in the collaborative planning relationships that are beginning to emerge between municipalities and First Nations as land claims are settled and treaty land entitlements are fulfilled.
