Trina Cooper-Bolam is a Banting Postdoctoral Researcher at Concordia University with a PhD in Cultural Mediations from Carleton University. Previously, Cooper-Bolam held senior positions at the Aboriginal Healing and Legacy of Hope Foundations–organizations working to transform the legacy of residential schools. Equally an academic researcher and an exhibition curator/designer, Cooper-Bolam is a key contributor to the Survivor-led Reclaiming Shingwauk Hall exhibition at Algoma University. Beginning in September 2022, Cooper-Bolam will initiate a program of collaborative transdisciplinary investigation of Shingwauk Home and Hall, recovering evidence and historical knowledge to support Survivor-driven in situ interpretation, memorialization, and Indigenous place-(re)making.
