Description
The goal of this research project was to take a multi-faceted, interdisciplinary approach to research and examine the Right to Repair movement’s progress, current repair practices, impediments, and imperatives, and the various large-scale implications (environmental, economic, social, etc.) stemming from diminished consumer freedom as a result of increased corporate greed and lack of governmental regulations with regards to repair and the environment. This poster exhibits the highlights of my general research project on the Right to Repair movement over the course of this four month internship, and aims to disseminate information about the movement to the wider public in an accessible manner.
Acknowledgements
I would like to thank the USRI’s partners – Western Research, Western Libraries, and Student Experience – for making this incredible opportunity possible. I would also like to thank FIMS’ very own Dr. Sandra Smeltzer for recommending me to participate in this program and facillitating my match with my supervisor. Last but certainly not least, thank you immensely to my supervisor, Dr. Alissa Centivany, for supporting me and teaching me so much in such a short amount of time, giving me a great deal of freedom to shape the project, and believing in me the whole way through.
