GAVER, Cheryl (Ph.D.)
Email: cgaver@cogeco.ca
Dr. Gaver obtained her B.A. in French Literature from Vassar College in the United States, her M.Div. from Knox College/University of Toronto, a Certificate from the Centre for the Study of Jewish-Christian Relations, Anglia Polytechnic University (Cambridge, UK), her M.A. in Religion and Culture from Wilfrid Laurier University (Waterloo, ON), and her Ph.D. from the University of Ottawa in 2011. Her thesis, Solitudes in shared spaces: Aboriginal and EuroCanadian Anglicans in the Yukon and Northwest Territories in the post-residential school era deals with contemporary and historic relationships between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal peoples in Canada's North. A major portion of her research involved exploring the relationships that emerged in western Canada during the fur trading era and how they contributed to shaping interactions between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal peoples in contemporary Canadian Northern communities.
Dr. Gaver is a sessional instructor at the University of Ottawa, Wilfrid Laurier University (Waterloo, ON) and Sheridan College (GTA, ON), where she teaches a number of courses on the interaction between worldviews, cultures, and globalization. An ordained Presbyterian minister, Dr. Gaver is also interested in the relationship between "Church and State" in Canada's multicultural context. An amateur genealogist, Dr. Gaver researched and published a two-volume genealogical work, The Gaver families:A jigsaw puzzle history, in 1992.
A member of InterCulture since 2005, Dr. Gaver has worked for a number of years in the business world. She brings to many of InterCulture's projects an understanding of church operations, theology and missionary history along with her considerable experience in project management, her technical expertise and her organizational skills.
