EDUCATION and EXPERIENCE
Blueberry Fig is run by Lydia du Bois. I have over 15 years’ experience in K-12 and post-secondary teaching, special education, research, and student support, as well as instructional design, curriculum development, customized resource design, and student advising. I have a PhD in Philosophy from the University of Wisconsin for which my research was focused on how communities think about mental health. I also hold a Master’s degree in Philosophy from Simon Fraser University in BC, Canada and a Bachelor’s degree in Classics and Philosophy from the University of Cape Town in South Africa. I am a parent who frequently bakes misshapen cookies, loves melodramatic dogs, and enjoys mixed metaphors.
I and my local community live and work on the unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples, including the səl̓ilw̓ətaʔɬ (Tsleil-Waututh), kʷikʷəƛ̓əm (Kwikwetlem), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish) and xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) Nations.
