Below are a selection of writings produced during my time completing a Masters of Digital Humanities. My research looked at the social impact of technology focusing on the way national narratives are constructed in a digital era as well as looking at how contemporary Indigenous artists and activists use cyberspace as a place to counter those narratives. Book ending Expo ’67 with Canada 150, I conducted research on screen technology as a precusor to digital design and interfaces. Also, because of a curiousity of monuments as physical manifestations of national narratives, heritage conservation and memory studies provided a foundation upon which to consider how we archive digital heritage.

2018 TECHNOLOGY & WORLDVIEWS: Virilio / Innis, Dromology / Drones, can Indigenous ontologies illuminate an exit out?

2017 ZIBI: A case study on thinking through Indigenous heritage values

2017 NARRATIVE FLEXIBILITY OR NOT? Motifs of labour, progress and citizenship in the representation of Indigenous people in the films of the NFB

2017 NATION BUILDING 2.0: Will crowdsourcing culture and innovations in the digital era allow Canada’s 150 to build on Expo ‘67’s experimental legacy during McLuhan’s “electric age”?
