Frances Widdowson was an Associate Professor in the Department of Economics, Justice, and Policy Studies at Mount Royal University in Calgary. Her research interests concern the political economy of indigenous-non-indigenous relations, how "woke-ism" threatens academic freedom, and the academic implications of university indigenization and decolonization. She is currently working on three manuscripts about "The Woke Academy", the Mount Royal University case, and neotribal rentierism and the Kamloops Indian Residential School "unmarked graves" hysteria.
