    My First Publication - Podcast Essay with Madelaine McCracken (EducateTheEarth)

    I am thrilled that this episode will be a form of podcast essay, where I will be reading my first published article as a Métis educational scholar called, Literary and Indigenous Métissage: Autobiographical Reflections as a first-year Métis PhD graduate. This publication can be found in the University of Ottawa, Faculty of Education’s Journal called, Education Review. 



    Through the consent of the issue’s coordinating editors, my colleagues Derya and Jenny, I am expressly allowed to reshare my article through this means, to honour key attributes of knowledge mobilization, and honour what this podcast is all about: Making Research Accessible.
