The Institute for Comparative Studies in Literature, Art and Culture, and the Centre for Transnational Cultural Analysis (CTCA) is pleased to announce the visit of Dr. Jolene Rickard, celebrated and innovative art historian, artist, and professor. Dr. Rickard’s artistic and academic work explores issues of indigeneity within a global context. Her workshop at Carleton University will focus on the intersection between indigeneity, migration, and diaspora.

Dr. Rickard (Tuscarora Nation) is an Associate Professor at Cornell University where she directs the American Indian Program and teaches courses including “The Museum & the Other,” “Indigenous Art, Film & New Media: Anti-Colonial Studies,” and “Photography & the Colonial Gaze.” She has been an artist in residence at Banff, and a participant in the Sydney Biennale, as well as the Te Tihi Scholar/Artist Gathering in Aotearoa / New Zealand. Dr. Rickard’s research is concerned with indigeneity across political borders. Her forthcoming book, Visualizing Sovereignty, deals with the Americas, Europe, New Zealand, and Australia, and proposes a new approach to indigenous aesthetics. Dr. Rickard is currently a recipient of a Ford Foundation Research Grant.
