Presenter information

Dr. Benita Bunjun (she/they) is an associate professor in the Department of Social Justice and Community Studies, and Women and Gender Studies at Saint Mary’s University in Kjipuktuk, Mi’kma’ki. Her research examines organizational and institutional power relations with a focus on colonial encounters within academic and non-profit organizational spaces.

She is the editor of Academic Well-Being of Racialized Students (2021 – Fernwood Publishing) centering transnational kinship relations. Bunjun is deeply committed to the academic well-being of Indigenous, Black and students of colour across their intersections who are often seen as “bodies out of place,” while upholding her responsibilities and responsiveness regarding the complexity of Indigenous-settler (of colour) relations.

She co-ordinates the Racialized Students Academic Network (RSAN)- a space for Indigenous, Black and students of colour to further develop their own theoretical vision based on intersecting identities, histories and struggles while promoting their overall academic well-being individually and collectively.
