Evie Ruddy
Digital and Lab Ethicist
(settler, they/them) Hello! I am a trans non-binary white settler living in oskana kâ-asastêki, colonially known as Regina, in Treaty 4 – the territories of the nêhiyawak, Anihšināpēk, Dakota, Lakota, and Nakoda, and the homeland of the Métis Nation. I am a socially engaged, interdisciplinary artist and PhD candidate in Cultural Mediations at the Institute for Comparative Studies in Literature, Art, & Culture at Carleton University. My doctoral research investigates improvisation as a method for ethical co-creation between media artists and trans collaborators. As a PhD Fellow with the Transgender Media Lab, I am researching feminist lab ethics and helping to develop methodological policies and protocols that align the everyday work of the lab with our collectively determined values.
