Emilie Pinard is an Associate Professor at the McEwen School of Architecture where she teaches Design Studio, Thesis and Cultural Sustainability courses. She holds a Master of Architecture Degree and a Doctorate in Architecture and Anthropology from Université Laval. She completed a Postdoctoral Fellowship at the School of Architecture and Planning at the University of the Witwatersrand, in Johannesburg.

She is conducting research on the role of vernacular and popular building know-how and practices in contemporary architecture. With the Habitats + Cultures Group from Université Laval, Emilie worked on different design and research initiatives conducted in collaboration with members of the Innu communities of Nitassinan and Inuit of Nunavik. She is a co-researcher in the Living in Northern Quebec: Mobilizing, Understanding, Imagining an Interdisciplinary Research Partnership (http://www.habiterlenordquebecois.org/), which has as its research subject the culturally appropriate and sustainable planning of Innu and Inuit habitats.
