Dr. Andrea Hasenbank is a postdoctoral fellow and contract lecturer at the University of Alberta. Edmonton-born, she is deeply engaged with the history and politics of Alberta, building on those connections as a political advisor to the provincial government between 2015 and 2019, and through ongoing collaborations with community organizations such as the Alberta Labour History Institute. Andrea has published on working-class cultures and print, including radical periodicals and manifestos of the 1930s. Her current research probes the conjuncture of Canadian politics and literature, examining the intersection of print, readers, surveillance, and the state in postwar Canada.
The Art Gallery of Alberta respectfully acknowledges that we are located in Treaty 6 Territory and Region 4 of the Metis Nation of Alberta. We respect this as the traditional and contemporary land of diverse Indigenous Peoples including the Plains Cree, Woodland Cree, Beaver Cree, Nitsitapi/Blackfoot, Métis, Nakota Sioux, Anishinaabe/Saulteaux/Ojibwe and Dene Peoples. We also acknowledge the many Indigenous, Inuit and Métis people who make Alberta their home today.
