My research focuses on voluntary and forced systems of education of Indigenous peoples. This includes federally mandated residential and day schools in Canada, boarding schools in the United States, and Indigenous established western-style schools. I am also interested in the relationship between Settler pedagogies and Indigenous ways of knowing.
