Biography

Hannah McElgunn is a linguistic anthropologist whose research explores the dynamic relationship between language and culture. Her primary research focuses on the ethical commitments centered on the Hopi Indigenous community and their language in Arizona. Hannah works in reciprocity with friends and colleagues, studying the historical and contemporary appropriation of the Hopi language and knowledge, alongside 'intangible' materials, and how these can be reclaimed in the present. Her work seeks to support information sovereignty and strengthen connections between Indigenous languages and communities, fostering methodological and theoretical ties across the disciplines of Linguistics and Anthropology. Before joining Queen's University, Hannah was a SSHRC postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Anthropology at the University of British Columbia.
