Andrew Wiebe

M.A. Medieval Studies, M.I. Archives and Records Management and Information Systems and Design.
Current PhD student in Information Studies (Critical Indigenous Studies, Queer Studies, and Archival Theory).

I am a queer, Michif scholar whose research interrogates how to ethically build Indigenous and queer data into Digital Humanities projects (virtual exhibits/maps). I interrogate queering and Indigenizing data management and data mobilization through archival activities such as counter-archiving, radical recordkeeping, and community information infrastructures. I want to take traditional archival approaches to acquisition and preservation and building community into the continuum of traditional archival space. These approaches emphasize the living cultural and community responsibilities that archivists have to actively address archival inequalities and to curate and deliver information in an ethical and meaningful way for said community that adheres to OCAP principles (https://fnigc.ca/ocap-training).
