Bio/Research
Wendy Pearson works on a number of research areas that circulate around questions of identity, citizenship and belonging. Her central focus is on sexuality and gender and her approach to these topics is informed by queer and feminist theory, by postmodernist and postcolonial theory, and by emerging intersectional approaches to questions of race, ethnicity and diaspora, as well as by lesbian/bi/gay and trans perspectives. She investigates these issues in a number of texts, predominantly science fiction, Canadian literature and film, and Indigenous film.
Wendy is also particularly interested in the connections between them examining Eden Robinson's Monkey Beach or Lisa Jackson's short film, Savage, for example, in the context of both science fiction and Indigenous studies; or Hiromi Goto, Nalo Hopkinson and Larissa Lai's works in terms of the relationship between sexuality, gender, race, science fiction, and queer Canadian culture; or Sherman Alexie's film, The Business of Fancydancing, in relation to both queer and Indigenous issues.
