Bio/Research
Faye M. Fraser is an assistant professor of Child and Youth Care. Her research takes up epistemological questions and the nature of disciplinary knowledge in feminist international relations, critical legal theory and postcolonial thought. Specifically, it examines juridical architectures, sex, imperialism, and their philosophical orientations of social inquiry into power and subjection. From this, she further examines political theory’s relationship to global epistemological structures and racialized-sexed struggles with attention to neoliberal governmentality, neocolonial globalization and legal theories of violence.
Her pedagogical approach is also largely informed by her work as a frontline crisis support worker for incarcerated Indigenous women and girl populations in rural Northern Ontario, Canada. As an advocate for Indigenous incarceration justice, she works directly in prisons and courts as well as rehabilitation and outreach facilities to support incarcerated Indigenous women and girls through their struggles with the courts and in their seeking justice in relation to violations of their human rights. Her service thus advances a social justice approach to gender and politics as it foregrounds the state, law, and empire’s complex relationship to neoliberal coloniality and their ability to govern subjects in imperial world-making practices.
