Kaitie Jourdeuil is an SSHRC Doctoral scholar in the Department of Political Studies at Queen’s University, specializing in Political Theory and Canadian Politics. She is broadly interested in the role of political theory as a cultural narrative and how this affects the development of political institutions. Her research centres on the relationship between territorial rights and corrective justice in settler states, with a particular focus on the responsibility of settler states to address Indigenous territorial rights claims as redress for colonial injustices. Her doctoral dissertation argues that the Canadian state has an obligation to recognize Indigenous territorial rights and that Canadian citizens may have a responsibility to incur costs—including the loss of territory—to establish territorial justice.
