About

Citizen of the Métis Nation of Alberta. Former Indigenous Academic.

• I have been told that I was the first citizen of the Metis Nation to earn a doctorate in law.  It is a neat little bit of info and, if inaccurate, it would be interesting to find out who was (so please let me know via email).

I will likely be returning to work soon.  As I am still navigating a work-injury, I will have to manage my time and duties carefully.  

At first, I will not be available for any meetings. Later, as I settle in, the announcements section of this page will provide booking information for meetings as well as any other limitations or restrictions that might impact how I deal with people or have to manage my time.

If you are in need of an Indigenous academic to serve on a committee, please look elsewhere. For health reasons, I am not in a position to contribute to the creation of Indigenous related policy on campus. To help prevent confusion around my role as an Indigenous person working as an academic, it might be more helpful to consider me as a former Indigenous academic. To help avoid confusion on this, I have resigned as an affiliate with the Rupertsland Centre for Metis Research.

Research

When I return to work, I will have to establish a new area of research.

If you are interested in any of my old work, I will provide a list here shortly after returning to work.

Teaching

If I am able to return to work soon, I will be teaching 2 courses in the winter of 2026.  NS111 and NS280 (topic to be confirmed at a later date).

I haven't taught courses at all for several years and it has been a few additional years since I have taught NS111, so I expect a bit of a bumpy ride. Fingers-crossed that it goes okay.

As I develop a return-to-work routine, I will be updating this section as needed.
