Monique Giroux
Research expertise
Monique Giroux holds the Canada Research Chair in M茅tis music and is an Associate Professor in the Music Department. She completed her PhD in ethnomusicology at York 免费福利资源在线看片 (2013), focusing on fiddle music as a site of Indigenous/settler relations.
Dr. Giroux's current research centres on M茅tis cultural and political revival and resurgence in Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, North Dakota, and Montana. Emerging from an understanding that cultural practices have political implications, her work examines the ways in which music and dance are used to re-build the M茅tis Nation; to build alliances among M茅tis communities and with settlers; and to remake or, problematically, reinforce unequal relations between Settler and M茅tis peoples. She is also working on a project that aims to facilitate the repatriation of M茅tis music held in archives in Canada and the US.
