Her primary research interests are information policy and community informatics. Through her involvement with the Canadian Research Alliance on Community Innovation and Networking, Nadia has been examining the dynamics around engagement and effective use of resources that cater to the ways of knowing of specific communities, whether it be newcomers or aboriginal communities in remote and isolated regions. Her current research is situated in the context of global migration and the role that information resources, institutions, and technologies play in the everyday lives of international migrants. This includes the interaction of global and local discourses in the information experiences of migrant individuals and communities, as well as their relationships with cultural and memory institutions such as libraries, archives and museums.
