Kwey psiw te wen. Liwiso Bernard Perley, Wolastokwi Nekwutkuk nik. Hello everyone. My name is Bernard Perley, I am from Tobique First Nation, New Brunswick. I serve as the Director of the Institute for Critical Indigenous studies at the University of British Columbia. I teach courses on Indigenous representations and cultural politics as well as Indigenous language revitalization and social justice. I am completing my term as President of the Society for Linguistic Anthropology and look forward to working with the CASCA leadership in coming years. My ongoing research explores the role humour and narrative play in mitigating and healing traumatic experiences. My research draws from linguistic and cognitive sciences to embodiments of emergent social worlds.
