Professor Dr. Sam Mckegney

Biography

Sam McKegney is a settler scholar specializing in Indigenous literatures. His teaching and research aim to register ways Indigenous literary artists interrogate ongoing settler colonialism, imagine modes of sociality that exceed the confines of the settler state, and provoke responses from Indigenous, settler, and diasporic readers that contribute to the process of decolonization. McKegney is particularly interested in the troubled study of masculinity and sport, with a focus on hockey within settler colonial contexts. He is the author of monographs on Indigenous literary art and has edited a collection of interviews on Indigenous masculinities. As a founding member and Past President of the Indigenous Literary Studies Association, he serves as the principal investigator of the Indigenous Hockey Research Network.
