About

Dr. Marie Lovrod is an Associate Professor, ICCC (Women’s and Gender Studies) and English, University of Saskatchewan. As a feminist researcher, Marie investigates the links between lived gendered experiences and structural forces, both material and conceptual, in efforts to engage institutional resources in service of groups who can benefit from increased access to political power. Recent publications have focused on differential colonial educational environments as sites for producing dominant and subaltern subjectivities, the effects of the post-traumatic stress disorder diagnosis in shaping potentials for social reform, considerations for responses to childhood trauma in feminist counseling contexts, and gendered generational labor practices and policies in China. Closer to home, Marie has been working in a research partnership project with the provincial network of youth in care and custody in Saskatchewan, using data collection and methods of analyses that have enabled young people to participate in developing narrative knowledge about their individual and collective experiences of custodial relationships with the state, with a view to collective self-reflection and advocacy.Marie completed doctoral work in feminist theory, autobiography, and trauma studies at the University of Calgary. She is the author of several articles in her field, and directed a multicultural education program in New York City.
