Kristin Burnett is a Professor in the Department of Indigenous Learning at Lakehead University, where she has worked since transferring from the Department of History in August 2012. A settler scholar, she holds a PhD from York University (2006), following BA and MA degrees in History from the University of Calgary, and completed an SSHRC post-doctoral fellowship at the University of Alberta. BA and MA in History, University of Calgary PhD, York University (2006) Burnett's research centers on Indigenous history, settler colonial and critical race studies, women and gender history, and the social history of health and medicine. She critically examines systemic barriers in healthcare access, social services, and food systems for Indigenous communities in northern Ontario, with particular focus on how colonial structures perpetuate health inequities. Her work consistently bridges academic research with policy advocacy. Analysis of her 15 most recent publications (2018-2024) reveals three dominant thematic clusters: Indigenous food sovereignty (examining traditional foods, land access, and colonial disruption of food systems), healthcare access barriers (including identification systems and vaccine hesitancy), and institutional complicity in colonial violence (particularly regarding Residential Schools and Indian Hospitals). Her methodology increasingly emphasizes community-engaged research and policy-relevant scholarship. Burnett co-founded the Social Science and Aboriginal Research Group (SSARG), dissolved in 2023, and frequently collaborates with Indigenous communities and scholars like Shannon Stettner. She secured notable research funding including an SSHRC post-doctoral fellowship and a YWCA Canada contract for historical research on Residential Schools, though the latter was severely underfunded ($14,500). Her July 2025 media coverage on identification barriers in healthcare demonstrates ongoing policy impact. Her landmark 2022 report "The Role of YWCA Canada in Canada's Residential Schools and Indian Hospitals" faced a two-year embargo before public release in December 2024, highlighting institutional resistance to confronting uncomfortable colonial histories. Burnett maintains that ethical research requires centering Indigenous leadership and adequately funding community-driven work.
