Michael Robidoux is a full professor in the School of Human Kinetics, Faculty of Health Sciences. With expertise in ethnology, Robidoux has led multidisciplinary research programs studying land-based food practices in rural remote Indigenous communities in northern Canada for over 20 years.

Professor Robidoux and his Indigenous Health Research Group have maintained longstanding partnerships with tribal organizations and Indigenous communities advocating for local food systems in northern Canada to address high rates of food insecurity and disproportionately high levels of diet-related disease. Robidoux  is particularly interested in studying the impact of local food procurement on local dietary practices and in developing economic strategies to build local food capacity in remote northern communities.

Professor Robidoux is accepting new students for thesis supervision.

• Indigenous food sovereignty
• Northern food systems
• Traditional food practices
• Injury in sport

As part of the Indigenous Health Research Group, Robidoux is working with Indigenous communities in northern Canada to develop economic strategies to support and sustain local food procurement initiatives. This research is funded through a SSHRC Insight Grant.

In partnership with CCM Hockey, with funding from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada, Robidoux is working with Blaine Hoshizaki to document injuries in youth hockey. Their study employs an observational research design, documenting injury events in situ to identify situational factors that help explain why and how injuries occur in youth hockey. Project data will be critical in developing injury prevention strategies and designing equipment to better protect youth playing hockey.
