Mary Kate Dennis is Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Social Work at the University of Manitoba, specializing in Indigenous methodologies. She holds a PhD in Social Work and Sociology (University of Michigan, 2013), MSW (Washington University), and MA (University of Chicago).
Her research examines Indigenous elders' experiences through frameworks of environmental justice, food sovereignty, gerontology, and trauma-informed care. Work emphasizes land-based healing, cultural continuity, and decolonizing approaches to loss and communal grief.
Publications demonstrate consistent focus on Indigenous sovereignty across environmental, food, and health systems. Recent works explore pandemic-climate intersections, cultural resilience through art, and ecological grief. Methodological contributions advance Indigenous qualitative research.
She teaches in the Master of Social Work based in Indigenous Knowledges program, co-instructing courses like 'Critical Theory and Indigenous Peoples' with knowledge holders.
