University of Manitobaمعرفی
Sarah Hourie is a Métis Assistant Professor in the Department of City Planning at the University of Manitoba's Faculty of Architecture. A citizen of the Manitoba Métis Federation and registered member of the Heritage Proud Local with kinship ties to High Bluff, she centers her work on decolonizing spatial practices through Indigenous relational methodologies rooted in Red River familial connections.
Her academic credentials include:
- PhD Candidate ABD (Indigenous Studies), University of Manitoba, Present
- MA (Indigenous Studies), University of Manitoba, 2022
- BA Advanced (Indigenous Studies, History), University of Manitoba, 2020
Hourie's research employs intergenerational memory and haunting as theoretical frameworks to remap settler colonial spaces, spatializing nineteenth-century Métis vernaculars for homeland-making. Her work bridges Indigenous Land Tenure Systems, Critical Indigenous Studies, and Western Critical Theory to examine how colonial architectures shape contemporary urban development and Indigenous conceptions of home.
Her publications demonstrate interdisciplinary engagement with Métis epistemologies and urban justice, including a 2025 chapter on multivocal approaches to Métis studies and a 2022 co-authored report addressing transportation inequities affecting Indigenous women and Two-Spirit communities in Western Canada.
