Bio
Fenn Stewart (PhD, York University, 2013) is an interdisciplinary teacher, scholar, writer and editor. Her research on colonialism and decolonization has focused mostly on "Canadian" contexts, from a perspective informed by critical race and Indigenous studies; this work has appeared in journals including ARIEL: A Review of International English Literature and Law, Culture, and the Humanities.
Fenn's most recent publications include collaborations with Jastej Luddu, including a Briarpatch article on the memorialization of Mewa Singh (an early Punjabi Sikh immigrant who, in 1914, assassinated a Canadian immigration inspector in the Vancouver Courthouse), as well as a post on the Oecologies blog focused decolonization and the idea of the end of the world.
She is the author of two books of poetry – Better Nature (2017) and Roosters and Women (forthcoming in 2024), and a former editor (2018-2019) of The Capilano Review.
Stewart joined the English Department at CapU in 2023, having previously taught academic writing and literature at Douglas College (2019-2023) and UBC (2014-2022).
