Logan MacDonald joined the Fine Arts Department in 2019 and was named Canada Research Chair (CRC) in Indigenous art last year. In the Faculty of Arts profile article he discusses his background and heritage as well as his research and artistic endeavors which focus on Indigenous, disability and queer perspectives. The acticle also expands on Logan's CRC project - The Longhouse Labs.
Curriculum and institutional systems of accreditation are Eurocentric and exclusionary to many Indigenous peoples. So my primary goal is to create sustainable pathways that enable Indigenous knowledge and cultural practices to broadly permeate studio art learning and how they lead to professionalization.
