Cathleen Clark

Cathleen is a settler scholar whose work contributes to national and transnational histories of Indigenous rights movements, postwar Canada, and the global Sixties. Her current book project examines the multifaceted trajectories of intertribal Indigenous political resistance within and outside Canada from the late 1960s to the early 1980s. Through careful investigation of the relationships between Red Power activists, regional and national Indigenous advocacy groups, and international organizations like the World Council of Indigenous Peoples and the International Indian Treaty Council, Cathleen’s work offers an innovative retelling of this critical era of mobilization.

In addition to her research interests, Cathleen holds a BEd from Queen’s University and engages critically with approaches to history education and pedagogy in her professional practice. At the University of Toronto, she teaches JIC366H1: Indigenous Histories of the Great Lakes, 1815 to the Present and HIS496H1: Race in Canada & the United States.
