CURRENT RESEARCH:
\n<\/strong>My current research explores the representation of temporality in speculative fiction novels by Anishinaabe authors. I am interested in how these authors mobilize the Anishinaabe concept of bisakaabiiyang, or “returning to ourselves,” within their texts to consider how their characters can survive during an ongoing apocalypse. I explore how this concept, rooted in self-reflexivity, is put into practice when the characters orient themselves to their communities and ancestral bonds. A focus on ancestral relations helps to push back on Western linear time, instead seeing the past, present and future as forging a symbiotic relationship. As a settler scholar, I am aware of and try to implement Indigenous-focused pedagogical practices in my methodology wherever appropriate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
