Research Interests
I am studying the implementation of the Native Studies Courses offered
to all high schools across Ontario from 1999-2000 to the present. My Master’s
Thesis will focus on Ministerial commitment to educate Ontarians regarding
Aboriginal issues, Native Studies courses that are currently available,
and about why they are being offered. Particular attention will be paid
to regional geo-social factors.
Since 1991, I have been working on research regarding Aboriginal land
claims as well as doing community consultation linked to finalizing negotiated
agreements between Native organizations and the Federal and Provincial
governments. I moved to Kingston in the fall of 2008 and am looking forward
to working with the academic and artistic communities at Queen’s
and in the area.
