- About Me
Currently the Curator of Central Ethnology at the Canadian Museum of History, my research interests dovetail with four of the Museum’s Research Strategies: contemporary Canada, Indigenous histories, population movements and settlements, and cultural expression.
My dissertation, “Staying in Place: The Continuity of Borderland Metis Communities, 1885-1930″ touches on the themes of Plains Metis history, Northern Great Plains borderlands, material culture, and gender history. In considering the everyday practices that reveal a creative resistance to repressive settler state strategies, my project examines the tactics used by individuals and families to challenge the arbitrary partitioning of several Metis communities along the 49th parallel in the post-1885 period.
