丁香园AV

I am the author of First Person Plural: Aboriginal Storytelling and the Ethics of Collaborative Authorship (UBC P, 2011), which was a finalist for the Gabrielle Roy Prize for English Canadian literary criticism and the Canada Prize from the Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences for scholarly work in the Humanities. I am the editor of Anahareo鈥檚 Devil in Deerskins (U Manitoba P, 2014), the first book-length life narrative published by an Indigenous woman author in Canada, and co-editor of Indigenous and Postcolonial Studies, the 50th anniversary issue of Ariel: A Review of International English Literature (2020); Read, Listen, Tell: Indigenous Stories from Turtle Island (Wilfrid Laurier UP, 2017); The Land We Are: Artists and Writers Unsettle the Politics of Reconciliation (ARP Books, 2015); and Cultural Grammars of Nation, Diaspora, and Indigeneity in Canada (Wilfrid Laurier UP, 2012).

I am working on a SSHRC-funded project, with NunatuKavut scholar Kristina Bidwell, exploring Indigenous-led collaboration in Indigenous literary arts. I am the Director of the Masters of Arts for Teachers of English (MATE) and co-chair, with Deanna Reder (Cree-M茅tis), of the Indigenous Voices Awards (see indigenousvoicesawards.org).
