Malika Jasmine Gabaj-Castrillo holds a master’s degree in biogeoscience on the spatial accessibility of proximity services for temporary migrant workers in the agricultural sector. Her research is geospatializing and estimating the distribution and accessibility of proximity services for this population. She has created an index of spatial accessibility to proximity services that will be plotted on a map, in order to observe variations in the availability and access to services.

Photographic contribution

Michel Huneault is a documentary photographer and visual artist. Before devoting himself entirely to photography starting in 2008, he worked for more than ten years in international development. He holds an M.A. in Latin American Studies from the University of California at Berkeley, where he was a Rotary Peace Fellow, focusing on the role of collective memory in the aftermath of large-scale trauma. First in Berkeley and then in New York, he was a student and assistant to photographer Gilles Peress of the Magnum agency. Today, Michel Huneault is still interested in development, trauma, migration and other complex geographic realities, including the impacts of climate change. In 2016, he was awarded the Travers Foreign Corresponding Fellowship to continue his research on migration issues. In 2018, ROXHAM, his visual and sound project on the passage of asylum seekers from the United States to Canada was adapted into virtual reality by the National Film Board of Canada.
