Autumn (she/her) is a public historian and visual artist based in Tiohtià:ke (Montréal), originally from Tkaronto (Toronto). She is currently pursuing an MA in History at Concordia University, where she also completed a BA in Honours Public History with a Minor in Interdisciplinary Studies in Sexuality. Her work is grounded in oral history, public storytelling, and community-driven approaches to historical memory. Her research and creative practice explore carceral histories, migration, intergenerational memory, gender, and the voices of those marginalized or silenced by colonial archives and structures of power. Autumn is a COHDS Scholar-in-Residence and the Communications Coordinator for Thinking Through the Museum, an international collaborative research network. In the past, she has worked with Heritage Toronto, the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC), and COHDS on public-facing projects that highlight underrepresented histories. Her work centres the intersections of race, gender, sexuality, and criminalization in Canada, advocating for more inclusive historical narratives and dreaming, imagining—and working towards—abolitionist futures grounded in care, community, and justice.
