Emily Bridge

I am a white, cisgender settler of British and Scottish descent living on the ancestral, shared, and unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam people), the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish Nation), and the səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh Nation). I strive to be accountable to the peoples who have stewarded these lands and waters since time immemorial, learning my responsibilities as a guest, and understanding that this journey is a lifelong one. My approach includes practicing humility, community care, and honouring lived expertise.

I have a Master’s of Library and Information Studies (2025) from UBC and a Bachelor of Arts (2022) with a Major in Interdisciplinary Studies from Capilano University. I have worked for several years both within the post-secondary sector and in my community to support education and awareness on topics such as consent and sexual violence, abolition and transformative justice, and increasing access to education for people who are incarcerated. I am looking forward to applying the learning I’ve done throughout my master’s to ensure the information systems we use empower our communities by supporting their wellbeing, capacity-building, and goals.
