Anika Tilland-Stafford
I am a white settler scholar teaching and researching on the rightful land of Lummi and Nooksack nations (Bellingham, WA). As teaching faculty with the Western Washington University's Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies and Honors Programs, I am engaged in an ongoing process of re-centering Indigeneity in course content and building meaningful bridges across theoretical learning and practical community engagement. My course content is interdisciplinary spanning intersectional queer and feminist theory, eco-justice and food sovereignty movements, and critical childhood studies. My Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) funded PhD research was completed with the Institute for Gender, Race, Sexuality, and Social Justice at the University of British Columbia. It involved a multi-method ethnographic study on building queer and transgender affirming spaces in early childhood education. I completed a SSHRC Postdoctoral Fellowship in History at Simon Fraser University on the regulation of gender and sexuality in Cold War era children's recreation programs in BC. This work has been published in journals such as Journal of Gender Studies, Atlantis, and BC Studies.
