Areas of interest

My research is focused on supporting and amplifying Indigenous voices, stories, and sovereignty. My master鈥檚 thesis used historical biography to analyze Anishinaabe celebrity George Copway鈥檚 engagement with Methodism, Freemasonry, and English writing. My PhD dissertation has evolved into a manuscript titled, "When the Great Drum Beats: Anishinaabe Histories and Future Visions". This book links the historical scholarship of nineteenth-century Anishinaabe writers to their activism and envisioning of Indigenous futures. My postdoctoral research on Anishinaabe journeys to the British Isles uncovered a wealth of sources linking military history, diplomacy, tourism, religious history, and the growth of academic fields like ethnology and anthropology. My manuscript, "Anishinaabe Albion: Indigenous Diplomacy, Performance, and Resistance in the British Isles", grounds this sprawling collection of themes in the experiences of hundreds of individuals and groups who crossed the Atlantic to visit the distant fringes of the Anishinaabe world. My other ongoing projects include Indigenous Freemasonry, Indigenous students at elite Canadian boarding schools, and the role of dreams in Anishinaabe history.
