Grace Cordeiro is an M.A. student in the Sociology Department at Bishop’s University. She holds a B.A. with a specialization in English and History and a minor in Anthropology from Concordia University (2025). Her M.A. thesis focuses on social media’s influence and use within the Latin American Diaspora in Québec. Approaching her research with an interdisciplinary lens, inclusive of oral historiography, her interests lie in studying social media as a liminal space that affects identity, cultural belonging, intergenerational knowledge transmission, and forms of discrimination, within the context of diaspora and displacement. Through digital ethnography and personal histories of Latin Americans in Québec, she aims to identify recurrent narratives, methods of cultural transmission, discourses on discrimination, gender roles, and integration that occur on social media and play out in the lived experiences of Latin Americans in Québec.
Grace is also a research assistant for her supervisor, the Canada Research Chair in Digital Indigeneities, Dr. Genner Llanes-Ortiz. She is involved in assisting the Centre for Community-Engaged Justices by working on their Unearthing Justices project. Currently, she is working on interactive mapping of vigils in their living digital archive of Indigenous-led initiatives that respond to Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit People.
