Assistant Professor
Selena Couture is an Assistant Professor at the University of Alberta, in Edmonton/ Treaty 6 territory and Métis homelands. Her research engages with Indigenous performance, place, Indigenous languages and historiography with a parallel inquiry into performative constructions of whiteness. Publications include her monograph, Against the Current and Into the Light: Performing History and Land in Coast Salish Territories and Vancouver’s Stanley Park (McGill-Queen’s UP Native and Northern Series, forthcoming Fall 2019) and On this Patch of Grass: City Parks and Occupied Lands (Fernwood 2018). A central concern of her research is decolonizing methodologies in performance studies which take up settler responsibilities.
