About
Danielle Taschereau Mamers holds a PhD in Media Studies from the University of Western Ontario. Her research identifies critical and creative strategies for destabilizing authority structures reproduced by documents, images and their archives. Her first
book, Settler Colonial Ways of Seeing, investigates Indigenous artists’ engagements with settler documentation of Indian status in Canada. Her second forthcoming book, Art As Thought (co-authored with Marta Bashovksi), presents an appeal for deeper engagements with art as a mode of theorizing politics.
Prior to joining CIFAR, Danielle was the Managing Director of the Critical Digital Humanities Initiative at the University of Toronto, where she led the development and growth of the four-year Institutional Strategic Initiative.
Alongside her work in research, Danielle is an illustrator and visual facilitator, specializing in research comics and infographics, live illustration and strategic visioning.
