About

Areas of Academic Interest

• Indigenous politics; Indigenous-settler relations and reconciliation
• Globalization and Indigenous rights

My research and teaching interests are in comparative and global approaches to the legacies of colonialism and Indigenous politics. My PhD dissertation was a comparative study of treaty-making in Canada and reconciliation in Australia. During my postdoctoral work I  broadened my research to include Indigenous politics beyond the nation-state and to examine Indigenous peoples’ activism both in transnational networks and in global institutions. My current projects include collaborative work on Canada's Truth and Reconciliation Commission and efforts to engage settler/non-Indigenous peoples in reconciliation processes.
