Kate Hennessy is a Doctoral Candidate in Anthropology at the University of British Columbia, and a Trudeau Scholar. She received her Masters of Arts in the Anthropology of Media from the University of London, SOAS. As assistant editor of the journal Visual Anthropology Review, she designed its first multimedia volume. Her current work with Aboriginal communities in northern British Columbia, Alberta, and the Yukon uses methods of participatory ethnography while facilitating collaborative community media projects as videographer, media skills trainer, and multimedia producer. Her doctoral research is grounded in the history and trajectory of museum repatriation, and explores the transformative role of new media in museum and academic practice. She connects this concept to issues of ethnographic representation, language revitalization, and the relations of power between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Canadians.
