Selena Couture is a settler scholar and Assistant Professor at the University of Alberta, in Edmonton/ Treaty 6 territory and Métis Region No.4. Her projects engage with theatrical and cultural performances including speech acts, place naming, Indigenous language revitalization and phenomenological spatial orientations. Through these elements she explores relationships to land: deconstructing conceptions of settler colonial whiteness and possession while foregrounding the maintenance of Indigenous places through performance. Publications include, Against the Current and Into the Light: Performing History and Land in Coast Salish Territories and Vancouver's Stanley Park (McGill-Queen's UP Indigenous and Northern Series, 2020) and On this Patch of Grass: City Parks and Occupied Lands (Fernwood 2018).She holds a SSHRC Insight Development Grant, "Decolonizing Performative Reenactments of History" which engages with the historical narratives created in rural BC, taking into account the lack of treaties to govern settler access to the land; the continuously present Indigenous protection of unceded territories despite settler colonial extraction; and the unique relation to the lands expressed through Indigenous languages.She is also a co-director of the Ecologies research cluster in the SSHRC Partnership Grant "Hemispheric Encounters: Developing Transborder Research-Creation Practices," (2020-2027) led by Dr. Laura Levin of York University. The project is developing a network across the Americas of organizations, artists, activists and scholars actively working in and with hemispheric performance to share strategies and resources. Her research in this project focuses on human and environmental effects of transnational resource extraction, as well as site-based performance strategies of refusal that address urban, environmental, and spatial politics.Her research practice responds to the growing crisis of global warming, develops a wider collaborative network and expands efforts to create responsible relations with Indigenous people, lands and all other-than-human beings.Resources:— Against the Current and Into the Light: https://www.mqup.ca/against-the-current-and-into-the-light-products-9780773559219.php — UBC's First Nations and Endangered Languages Program: https://fnel.arts.ubc.ca/— Inventing Stanley Park by Sean Kheraj: https://www.ubcpress.ca/inventing-stanley-park— The Archive and the Repertoire by Diana Taylor: https://www.dukeupress.edu/the-archive-and-the-repertoire— The Native Brotherhood of British Columbia: https://www.nativebrotherhood.ca/— Ashes on the Water: A Podplay Video: https://vimeo.com/27876873— The Road Forward by Marie Clement

Elisabeth Pasquette:I am an assistant professor of Philosophy and Women's and Gender Studies at the University of North Carolina, and affiliate faculty with the Department of Africana Studies, the Center for Holocaust, Genocide, and Human Rights Studies. I received my B.A. from Trent University (Peterborough, Ontario, Canada), my M.A. from the University of Guelph (Ontario, Canada), and my Ph.D. from York University (Toronto, Ontario, Canada).My research interests include social and political philosophy, decolonial theory, feminist theory, critical race theory, queer theory, and continental philosophy. My publications can be found in philoSOPHIA, Philosophy Compass, Radical Philosophy Review, Hypatia, Philosophy Today, and Badiou Studies. My first book — Universal Emancipation: Race beyond Badiou — was published with the University of Minnesota Press in October 2020.Currently, I am working on two book projects. The first book is an edited collection with a number of exceptional Badiou scholars, which centers around theories of sexuality in, through, and against Alain Badiou's conception of "indifference to difference" and what Louise Burchill calls Badiou's "turn" in a 2011 paper titled "Figures of Femininity in the Contemporary World."The second book is a single author manuscript on the writings of Sylvia Wynter. Therein, I analyze Wynter's articulation of emancipation and solidarity by developing her account of Indigeneity alongside her discussion of anti-Black racism. More specifically, my project seeks to engage Wynter's project around five themes: environmental racism, feminist theory, Marxism, representations of Shakespeare's Caliban, and ceremony as method for solidarity.I incorporate much of my research into my teaching and pedagogy. I teach classes on feminist theory, Indigenous theory, critical race theory, and decolonial theory at both the undergraduate and graduate level. My classes have been cross-listed with Philosophy, Women's and Gender Studies, Liberal Studies, Africana Studies, and Holocaust, Genocide, and Human Rights Studies.

Andrea Luka Zimmerman is a Jarman Award winning artist, filmmaker and cultural activist whose multi-layered practice calls for a profound re-imagining of the relationship between people, place and ecology.
