SSHRC PEG awarded 2018:The project will create a partnership between the University of Alberta's Drama Department and Workshop West Playwrights Theatre, to create a methodology of dramaturgy for new plays by the Indigenous playwrights, through an innovative week-long development process. Workshop

West Playwrights Theatre (WWPT) is a well-known and respected centre for new play development in Alberta. They have recently began reaching out to the Indigenous community near Edmonton to develop new playwrights but don't have any Indigenous leadership or resources to reach larger Indigenous community

across Canada. The goal of the partnership is create an alliance between the Department of Drama and WWPT that will develop a workshop model specifically for Indigenous playwrights with dramaturges from the Indigenous community, through work on four new Indigenous plays. The project will invite an

SSHRC CG awarded 2024: Society, in the early twenty-first century, has been shaped by new knowledge of genomics, also known as the science of DNA, yet Indigenous peoples remain underrepresented in research and leadership roles in genome and other science, technology, math, and engineering fields

. To address the problem of low recruitment, support, and matriculation of Indigenous science students, researchers across Canada and the US have been working with leaders in scientific and Indigenous Peoples' communities to create the Summer internship for INdigenous peoples in Genomics (SING). SING

Canada is week-long residential program that invites Indigenous participants to engage in hands-on classroom, lab, and field training in genomic sciences and Indigenous knowledge. The curriculum includes an introduction to advances in Indigenous approaches to genomics and its ethical, environmental

SSHRC IG awarded 2022: The research aims to understand the importance of collective memory and collective identity to the resilience and self-organization of nine Indigenous nations and communities across Canada on Turtle Island (North America). Specifically, the research focuses on processes of

seeing as a way to balance Indigenous and mainstream approaches such as Organizational Memory Studies. The team engages in ethnography adopting a inductive, qualitative, and exploratory approach towards of the nine case studies in order to understand the similarities and differences across each community

The database will play a vital role in Indigenous institution building because it will create new vocabularies and knowledge around how First Nations conceptualize and practice collaborative governance arrangements. The project will compile a comprehensive national picture of how

SSHRC Awarded PDG 2020: The ongoing political, social, and economic marginalization of Indigenous women exposes them to poverty, social exclusion, and violence. But Indigenous women are not victims; they are actively involved in resistance efforts and have created civil society organizations (CSOs

) to reclaim power and agency. Information and communication technologies (ICTs) have become an indispensable resource for civil society actors, but research suggests that numerous barriers limit the potential of technologies to support the empowerment of Indigenous women. These barriers include the

fact that technology is not designed according to their perspectives, preferences and ways of knowing. During our previous SSHRC-funded research, Indigenous women's CSOs identified two priorities for using ICTs: political communication and collaboration with other Indigenous women across the Americas

NFRF-T awarded 2021: The scope of the project is novel in its combined concern with the well-being of Indigenous peoples and the conservation of biodiversity; it is also unique in its intention to build capacity within Indigenous communities to document and mobilize knowledge about biodiversity

-well-being in ways that are recognized by regional-national-global institutions of biodiversity conservation. We propose a place-based participatory approach that allows for capacity-building, evidence-based research, knowledge mobilization and action in key regions globally. Led by Indigenous scholars

and an Indigenous Advisory Council, the research team will engage in collaborative community-based research within Canada and 5 other global hubs.

SSHRC CG awarded 2024: Building a Critical Indigenous Theory in the Study of Religion Network (CITSR) is a five day event activity that will develop a network for North American scholars who work at the intersection of religion and Indigenous studies. The aim is to build an international community

(i.e., intellectual kinship) among academics working to decolonize and indigenize the study of religion. CITSR will lay the foundation for promoting knowledge about religion that is especially significant for Indigenous nations/peoples and grow the study of religion in the academy. 14 scholars

(Indigenous and non Indigenous) from Canada and USA along with 4 undergraduate and 2 graduate students will participate in this event. Event activities include training sessions for students, a pre-workshop session where we will outline disciplinary and scholarly objectives and major issues in our academic

SSHRC IDG awarded 2021: The objective of the Relational Governance Project (RGP) is to study how First Nations create shared jurisdiction with each other to deliver governmental services.A second objective of the proposed research is examining policy making within Indigenous led institutions ­ what

I am calling Critical Indigenous Policy Studies. I anticipate the RGP will last 10­15 years and will be guided by two research questions: i) Where and how do First Nations successfully create forms of shared jurisdiction with each other in the delivery of governmental services? ii) What methods and

theories are needed for policy research that focuses on Indigenous led institutions? This proposal outlines two pressing research needs. First, the RGP will create a database on the governance of First Nations education authorities in the prairie provinces. Second, the RGP will lead an interview process on
