Seana Irvine

PhD Student
Trent University

I am pursuing my PhD in Interdisciplinary Social Research at Trent University (Peterborough, Ontario) where I’m exploring how post-industrial landscapes can be repurposed to create more inclusive cities. I'm interested in understanding how the redevelopment and transformation of formerly industrial landscapes into cultural and economic hubs can be undertaken in ways that advance a public agenda of social inclusion and economic opportunity. Throughout my career, I've focused on community-based, participatory design and engagement processes, leading low carbon redevelopments, launching social enterprises and strengthening social innovation networks from the local to the international while serving in executive positions for entrepreneurial not-for-profit organizations. Much of my career involved the adaptive reuse of Toronto’s Don Valley Brick Works from an abandoned brick factory and brownfield, into a LEED platinum, award winning showcase for innovation and sustainability. As one of the project’s founding team members, I developed the original visitor program and interpretation experiences that celebrated the site’s industrial and ecological heritage, highlighted worker stories and engaged visitors in tangible environmental actions that create healthier cities.
