Teaching Areas: Indigenous, Canadian, and Nineteenth-Century Literatures

I am a citizen of the Métis Nation of Ontario from the Georgian Bay Métis Community. Though I study both early and contemporary Indigenous literatures of Turtle Island, my work is often located at the intersection of Indigenous, Canadian, and nineteenth-century British literary studies. I would be happy to supervise students with research interests in these areas. My own research is especially attentive to Indigenous literary expressions of relationship on and with the land, Indigenous feminisms, and the archival recovery of nineteenth-century Indigenous writers.
