Research Interests

Eva Mackey has published two books and numerous book chapters and journal articles on issues concerning nationalism, identity, whiteness, multiculturalism, cultural politics,聽 Indigenous land rights and decolonization in Canada and Australia.

Her research and teaching interests include the politics of culture, identity, nation, race, rights, representation and history within the context of colonial /national/ global processes. My key research questions concern the limits and possibilities of modernity, liberalism and settler colonialism regarding cultural difference and governance. Specific projects have examined multiculturalism, national identity and the politics of culture in Canada; contests about race and representation in Canada; and Aboriginal rights 鈥渂acklash鈥� and decolonization in settler nations.
