Sarah Hourie is a Métis Assistant Professor in the Department of City Planning at the University of Manitoba. She was born and raised in Winnipeg, Manitoba, where she currently resides and works. As a registered member of the Manitoba Métis Federation, she is proud of her heritage. Sarah's research is deeply influenced by her familial connection to the Red River, which informs her understanding of 'housing' and 'home.' Her work utilizes intergenerational memories to reimagine settler colonial spaces, focusing on the nineteenth-century Métis vernaculars that shape contemporary home-making and homeland-making practices. She employs a haunting theoretical framework to investigate the construction of place and the unsettling of space. Her research includes Indigenous relational methodologies, story-making, and memory work, particularly when exploring narratives related to family cemeteries and colonial archives.
