Biography
I am Mushkegowuk (Cree), a member of Constance Lake First Nation in Treaty 9, and of French ancestry. Drawing on 20 years of collaborations with Indigenous communities and organizations, my research examines Indigenous resurgence and freedom within the global conditions of colonial capitalist violence. Over the past several years, I have also collaborated with Dr. Magie Ramirez, in an effort to build grounded theorizations of decolonial geographies. I am currently accepting students who work on topics related to Indigenous and anti-colonial geographies. Please contact me directly if you would like to discuss the possibility of working with me.
