My name is April McInnes, and I am a settler student in the seminar-based MA program. I completed the Concurrent Education program at Queen’s University, receiving a Bachelor of Arts, Honours in English Language and Literature with a minor in History and a Bachelor of Education in the intermediate/senior division. I am also a certified teacher with the Ontario College of Teachers. My research investigates decolonial approaches to Indigenous literatures and their implications and applications in secondary-level classrooms in the public education system.
