Kevin initially graduated from Thompson Rivers University’s Horticulture Certificate program in 2011, aspiring to grow food and live more sustainably. In 2019 he completed his Bachelor of Arts degree at TRU. In 2023, he was awarded the Canada Graduate Scholarship (Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council) for his research on collectively managed urban spaces in South-Eastern British Columbia. Kevin successfully defended his thesis in 2024 for the Master of the Arts in Human Rights and Social Justice program at TRU. Kevin’s research focused on communal production at the micro-level with an eye toward decommodification, reparation of the metabolic rift, and informal education. It is his assertion that material production, and our relationships to the land, are the issues and means that stand to unite people of diverse beliefs and backgrounds toward a bright future for all.
