Anna’s teaching praxis is rooted in the belief that decoloniality is not a theoretical abstraction but a lived, action-oriented commitment. Through Indigenous feminist frameworks, she guides students to confront ongoing settler colonial realities while cultivating spaces where critical inquiry becomes a tool for collective transformation.

Intersectional Praxis: Courses expose structural inequities by interrogating the gendered, racialized, and imperial logics embedded in nationalism, media, art, and cultural production. Through this lens, students confront how power operates materially and discursively, while centering histories of resistance, solidarity, and collective resurgence.

Decolonial Action: Students engage with Indigenous and global South scholarship to interrogate colonial power structures, bridging theory with tangible interventions in their communities.

Critical Self-Reflexivity: Learners are invited to examine their positionality within systems of power, fostering accountability in how they navigate discourse, knowledge production, and community formation.

Featured Projects: In GSFS 307: Indigenous Feminisms (McGill University, Winter 2025), students crafted decolonial feminist manifestos grounded in land-based ethics and ancestral wisdom that outlined actionable steps into daily life. This assignment exemplifies Anna’s commitment to merging critical analysis with creative, community-centered praxis.
