Скачать или смотреть Black and Indigenous Speaker Series February 2024, Krista Collier-Jarvis

In this installation of the MSVU Black and Indigenous Speaker Series we heard from Krista Collier-Jarvis, (nekm/she/her) member of the Mi’kmaq First Nation and a third-generation residential school survivor.

She is currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of English at MSVU, a PhD Candidate at Dalhousie University, and an Affiliate with Thinking through the Museum. She teaches Indigenous ways of knowing and being, American literature, popular culture, and climate fiction. Her doctoral research looks at zombie narratives to develop an Indigenous-infused, multispecies approach to contagion and climate change. She has recently published on uncanny play in Pet Sematary and has an article on Blood Quantum forthcoming in a collection about Indigenous and Aboriginal Gothic. We hope you enjoy her talk titled: Too Ghoul for School: Colonial Gazing, Monstrosity, and Representing the Unrepresentable in Rhymes for Young Ghouls.
