In order to address the ongoing inaction by the Canadian government regarding mercury contamination in Grassy Narrows First Nations, my current research examines the moves to innocence enacted by the government. Using recent research on the white saviour trope and the legal concept of cui bono as central concepts, I am examining if social capital can provide the bar by which to determine if an altruistic intervention provides suitable benefits to both sides of a historically unbalanced power dynamic.
I am currently a PhD student in the School of Indigenous and Canadian Studies at Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada. My research examines the intersect of the savior framework, Indigenous law and governance, and Indigenous/Canadian treaty negotiations.
For social capital researchers, these sessions are an opportunity to hear about the latest social capital research and insights from scholars working on the concept. They can be a great way to connect with people, to get advice, discuss ideas or issues, get suggestions for literature to read, or you can just listen.
