"It is that health-related work that has inspired his planned course of study at Oxford—either master of science or master of philosophy focusing on the effects of colonialism on the health of Indigenous peoples in Canada, specifically on disproportionately high rates of HIV infection in Saskatchewan.

"I’ve been able to witness first-hand the health disparities that are troubling First Nations reserves, such as the lack of information around culturally safe sexual health, education and practices for Indigenous peoples,” he says."

Indigenous Feminist Collective, Founding Member, 2014-Present

I am one of the founding members of the Indigenous Feminist Collective, an academic-activist group that seeks to center the realities of Indigenous women and queer and trans Indigenous people in Edmonton and at the University of Alberta.

I helped plan the Pronoun Awareness, Gender-Neutral Bathroom, and Asexuality Awareness campaigns, and I organized and presented at a one-day teach-in on queerness and Indigenous peoples.

(And, yes, if you download his CV, it does in fact say "the Rock Ethic's Institute.")
