Dr. Rosemary Nagy
From 2009 to 2015, Dr. Nagy was able to conduct participant-observation research at most of the national events of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada. Her subsequent writing has addressed paths to settler decolonization, settler witnessing, transformative justice, and the scopes and bounds of transitional justice. From 2013-2020, Dr. Nagy also served as Co-Director and Principle Investigator for the SSHRC-funded Northeastern Ontario Research Alliance on Human Trafficking (NORAHT). A university-community research partnership, NORAHT conducted participatory action research using Indigenous, decolonial, and feminist methodologies in order to identify and redress gaps and barriers to regional services for people experiencing violence, exploitation and abuse in the sex industry.
