Gwendolyn Saul is an ethnographer and cultural anthropologist interested in creative and innovative ways to implement critical Indigenous theory into museum spaces and practices. My research and scholarship has focused on oral histories, museum studies, contemporary Indigenous art, and critical Indigenous theory. The political and social ideals that shape Kerry Thompson's research and writing in anthropology and archaeology include: social justice, inclusion, and equity for Indigenous and other marginalized people. Primarily her research and teaching are focused on different facets of Indigenous perspectives and paradigms in archaeology and anthropology.
