Christy Anderson

MA

Sessional Instructor

Boozhoo! Christy Anderson indizhinikaaz, nin Pinaymootang indoojii, nin Ma’iingan indoodem.

Greetings/Hello! My name is Christy Anderson, I am from Pinaymootang First Nation (Treaty 2), and I am from the wolf clan.

Christy is a proud Anishinaabekwe (Ojibwa Woman) on her ancestral paternal side and her maternal lineage is Mennonite (settler). She graduated with a BA in Communications and Media from Canadian Mennonite University (2011) and an MA in Native Studies from the University of Manitoba (2017). Christy is currently a doctoral student in Indigenous Studies at the University of Saskatchewan and her work is inspired by a firm belief that gender matters in all things. Ms. Anderson is passionate about examining social and interpersonal relations from an intersectional perspective that critiques ongoing settler colonialism, racism, and gender oppressions, while amplifying and validating human experiences via personal narratives and storytelling. She firmly believes in the philosophy that research should be mobilized to make positive social change for politically, economically, and socially marginalized folks.

Christy is the proud recipient of the Indigenous Achievement Award for Academic Excellence (University of Saskatchewan, 2020), Leadership Sustaining Our Ways (Full Circle for Indigenous Education, 2020), Aboriginal Graduate Scholarship (College of Arts and Science, 2019), and the NIB Trust Fund (2019 & 2020 & 2021). Ms. Anderson holds a Joseph Armand-Bombardier Canada Graduate Scholarship (2020-2023).

Christy is a proud hockey, lacrosse, swimming, and cadet mom to her young boys. She pursues holistic wellness according to medicine wheel teachings and is conscientious about caring for her mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical health. In her free time, Christy enjoys reading dystopian literature, CrossFit, hot yoga, and Olympic weightlifting. Christy honours both aspects of her spiritual identity where she combines Indigenous spiritual practices with non-denominational Christian principles.
