Kristen Bos

Kristen Bos serves as an Assistant Professor of Indigenous Science and Technology Studies within the Department of Historical Studies at the University of Toronto Mississauga, holding concurrent affiliation with the Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies program. She co-directs the Indigenous-led Technoscience Research Unit, an environmental justice laboratory advancing community-centered research at the University of Toronto.

Her scholarship employs Indigenous feminist frameworks to interrogate intersections of colonial oppression, gendered violence, and ecological destruction through archaeological analysis of material culture. Research examines how settler colonial structures shape environmental justice movements while centering Indigenous knowledge systems and northern Alberta's prairie-boreal forest transition landscapes. Methodologically grounded in material culture studies, her work bridges science and technology studies with decolonial praxis.

As Co-Director of the Technoscience Research Unit, she cultivates Indigenous-led approaches to environmental justice through collaborative community partnerships and laboratory-based knowledge production.
