Book Celebration | Autobiography as Indigenous Intellectual Tradition with Alumna Dr. Deanna Reder
March 3 @ 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm
The UBC Department of English Language & Literatures is pleased to invite you to a book celebration and lecture by UBC alumna Dr. Deanna Reder (Cree-Métis), Full Professor in the Department of Indigenous Studies and the Department of English at Simon Fraser University.
Dr. Reder will discuss her monograph, Autobiography as Indigenous Intellectual Tradition: Cree and Métis âcimisowina (Wilfred Laurier UP), which developed out of her doctoral work while she was a student in the Department of English at UBC. Her talk will focus on the ways in which autobiography as methodology, Indigenous-informed cultural analysis, and imaginative creative engagement can be combined to understand and bring scholarly attention to neglected Indigenous texts.
Autobiography as Indigenous Intellectual Tradition was the recipient of the prestigious 2024 Modern Language Association (MLA) Prize for Studies in Native American Literatures, Cultures, and Languages. It was also the recipient of the 2024 Canada Prize.
