Indigenous
Christine Qillasiq Lussier is an Inuk and Quebecer doctoral student at Concordia University. Her maternal ties are to Salluit, Nunavik, and she is affiliated to the Northern Village of Kuujjuaraapik, where she lived several years before moving to the south. Her paternal ties are to Tio’tià:ke/Montreal, where she later grew up.
Her research explores how intergenerational, arts-based, and experiential methods can be used to breathe new life into (hi)stories that have been silenced through colonization. Her work also looks at how supporting mentorship generates culturally relevant ways of learning through an Inuk lens.
