Brooke is an established and collaborative interdisciplinary researcher who draws expertise, techniques, and analytical approaches from across the Social and Natural Sciences, and Humanities to explore the long-term human occupation of the Canadian Arctic. Her research and fieldwork programs have been generously supported by SSHRC, CFI, NCE, Natural Resources Canada, Manitoba Heritage, and Research Manitoba, among other agencies, for nearly three decades.

Brooke has published on diverse topics in high impact journals and is renowned for her work in the areas of lithic (stone) technology, novice skill apprenticeship, geochemical provenance and technological organization, and the reconstruction of long-term human land use patterns in the Canadian Arctic. She has been nominated twice for the Faculty of Arts, Excellence in Teaching award at the University of Manitoba, and has successfully mentored and advised both undergraduate and graduate students in her interdisciplinary research lab, ArcTec. Dr. Milne is a tireless advocate on behalf of graduate students and graduate education and was awarded a Presidential Citation from the Graduate Student’s Association at the University of Alberta in 2020 in recognition of her efforts.
