About

Dr. Michaela McGuire holds a PhD in criminology from Simon Fraser University. Her work focuses on decolonization, racism, genocide, state crime, resurgence, Indigenous and Nation-based justice, and governance.

Dr. Michaela McGuires’ research involves an examination of injustice affecting Indigenous Peoples while also considering how to work towards healthier and more just futures. She is a citizen of the Haida Nation and much of her academic work has involved community and Nation-based research.

Notable projects include research on the development of a self-determined Haida Tll Yahda (making things right or justice system) and consideration of identity displacement and belonging affecting the Haida Nation, within the framework of state crime. She is also a fellow with the Yellowhead Institute and frequently contributes to their publications.
