Camille Georgeson-Usher is Assistant Professor in the Department of Art History, Visual Art & Theory at UBC. She is a Coast Salish / Sahtu Dene / Scottish scholar, curator, and writer from Galiano Island, BC. Through her research, Usher is interested in the many ways in which peoples move together through space, how public art becomes a site for gathering, and intimacies with the everyday from an Indigenous perspective. She uses her practice as a long-distance runner as a methodology for embodied theory and an alternative form of sensing place. She is an award-winning writer whose work merges theory with poetry and at times, science-fiction; she has been published widely across academic books, magazines, arts journals, and exhibition texts. In addition to her academic work, she serves as Co-Chair of the Toronto Biennial of Art, is a Board Member of the Galiano Island Literary Festival, and sits on several advisories and committees across academia and the arts sector.
