Research Interests<\/b><\/p>\n
Eva Mackey has published two books and numerous book chapters and journal articles on issues concerning nationalism, identity, whiteness, multiculturalism, cultural politics,\u00a0 Indigenous land rights and decolonization in Canada and Australia.<\/p>\n
Her research and teaching interests include the politics of culture, identity, nation, race, rights, representation and history within the context of colonial \/national\/ global processes. My key research questions concern the limits and possibilities of modernity, liberalism and settler colonialism regarding cultural difference and governance. Specific projects have examined multiculturalism, national identity and the politics of culture in Canada; contests about race and representation in Canada; and Aboriginal rights \u201cbacklash\u201d and decolonization in settler nations.<\/p>\n
