Although I’m not a prolific blogger, I've enjoyed my occasional forays into the blogosphere. Below are some of the blogs I've written. They range from Indigenous literature, Indigenous Studies, and politics, to representations of Indigenous peoples in speculative fiction and popular culture, to badger advocacy and information; when possible (and when the source site is still functional), I've included a link to the original. My first blog post was a response to James Cameron’s Avatar (and which has since been significantly expanded as an afterword essay in the essay collection Avatar and Nature Spirituality, edited by Bron Taylor and released in 2013 Wilfrid Laurier University Press). The blog is down, but I'm seeking out the original to upload below. The second was written for the blog of a former student, Christine Smith (McFarlane), on the topic “why Indigenous literatures matter”; this is the rather different foundation of a short book project of the same name that I’m currently writing. “Carrying the Fire” was written for NationsRising.org (a site dedicated to “Indigenous nationhood, resurgence, and decolonization”), and is focused on the challenges and rewards of teaching Indigenous Studies in a time of great transformative potential and increasing backlash. (The site is currently down but an archived version of the post is available below.) Most recently I included a short commentary on why, as an Indigenous person and now a Canadian citizen, I choose to vote in Canada's electoral system.

I also have posts from my badger-focused blog, The Badger Files, that continues my scholarly work on badger life, lore, and literature.
