Margaux L. Kristjansson is a Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow in the Center for Global Indigenous Cultures and Environmental Justice at Syracuse University. She is a political anthropologist, writer, and organizer whose work interrogates the politics of care, gender, time, and colonial extraction in settler states. Her writing has appeared in Theory & Event, and in the anthologies Feminism Against Cisness (ed. Emma Heaney, Duke University Press, 2024), and Engage: Black, Indigenous and Afro-Indigenous Futures (ed. Joy James, Pluto Press, 2024). She has researched and taught at Williams College, Bard College and Syracuse University. Her current book project, States of Kidnapping: the Algonquins of Barriere Lake and the End of Canada’s Indigenous Child Removal System, interrogates how Canada attempts to embargo always-dawning Anishnabe futures through the carceral child protective system and extractive capital.
