Research Experience: 2009–11 Settler news media research focusing specifically on revealing the ideological underpinnings of non-Aboriginal representations of Aboriginal peoples 2007-9 Critical discourse analyses of news media concerning Aboriginal peoples in Canada, specifically in cities, specifically on revealing the ideological underpinnings of non-Aboriginal representations of the National Aboriginal Day of Protest in 2007. 2007-8 Research on Aboriginal cosmopolitanism and how Aboriginal peoples are using the internet to reach-in to local communities but also reach out to non-Aboriginal peoples in the creation of identity, communities and oppositional projects. This research was done in the context of analyzing Aboriginal hip hop and rap at local, regional, national and international levels. 2006-7 Critical discourse analyses of news media concerning Aboriginal peoples in Canada, specifically in cities in the context of John Stackhouse’s Canada’s Apartheid Welcome to Harlem on the Prairies a multi-part Globe and Mail investigative report. 2005- 6 Research into identity theory and practice applied to how Aboriginal peoples in cities identify as Aboriginal in urban spaces and places 2004-5 Research on concepts of interlegality, incorporation and cultural production and appropriation, to illustrate how the legal/justice philosophies and practices of the formal Canadian justice system are being penetrated by Aboriginal philosophies and practices. Rather than focusing on how dominant non-Aboriginal philosophies and practices are taken up by subaltern Aboriginal peoples, I examined three “new’ Aboriginal justice initiatives to show how interlegality can be understood in the reverse. 1998- 2002 Field research in Toronto with the Community Council Program of Aboriginal Legal Service of Ontario. This research involved assessing how a small urban Aboriginal diversion project help address over-representation of Aboriginal peoples in Canadian prisons through an alternative justice approach. It was also concerned with how Aboriginal peoples in Toronto understand and practice community despite being widely spread across Toronto and having no visible spatially-based neighbourhood upon which to base their community. Lastly, it involved how Aboriginal peoples in Toronto identify as Aboriginal despite the numerous Aboriginal cultures in Toronto and pressures to assimilate within Toronto. 1995-1997- Research Assistant, Dr. R.
