Georgina Martin

Georgina Martin is Secwepemc from one of the 17 Secwepemc First Nations communities in the central interior of British Columbia. She is the first person from her community to obtain a doctoral degree. Her unique, original, and significant contribution to the social sciences and humanities is amplified by her experience as a survivor of St. Joseph’s Mission Residential School. Working directly with her community, Martin addresses intergenerational trauma through her research. Being Indigenous with lived experience, she brings a very high level of sensitivity to her projects. She is the author of “Drumming Our Way Home: Intergenerational Learning, Teaching, and Indigenous Ways of Knowing,” published by UBC Press.
