Research Project
Sena Crow’s project analyzes three literary works by Indigenous authors to examine the ways science fiction and dystopian storytelling can further decolonization and center Indigenous futurity. Her research dives deep into the scholarly conversations and she regularly sought feedback and assistance throughout her project to ensure her work effectively communicated to a range of readers. Christina Roberts (English), her faculty member, comments “Sena’s project exemplifies the ways in which current academic projects can interrogate biases around what constitutes academic work, while also being attentive to the ways in which methodologies around research can influence cultural perceptions. In my mind, her project illustrates what I would hope for a Seattle University undergraduate research project; it combines her personal passions and interests with questions and themes of critical importance to our shared world.”
