Jennifer Henderson

Jennifer Henderson is a Professor at Carleton University, affiliated with the Department of English Language and Literature and the School of Indigenous and Canadian Studies. Her work critically examines the intersection of Indigenous experiences, Canadian history, and the gothic narrative in the context of residential schools and settler colonialism.

Research Interests: She focuses on Indigenous studies, truth and reconciliation processes, and the sociopolitical implications of historical trauma. Her recent analyses challenge the use of gothic fiction tropes to avoid confronting the systemic nature of colonial violence.

Article Trends: Her publication on residential schools explores how narratives of guilt and responsibility are shaped by settler identity, institutional complicity, and the commodification of Indigenous land in contemporary Canada.
