We’re honoured to welcome Dr. Sarah Beaulieu back to the CHASIcast! As a conflict anthropologist, UFV professor, and CHASI faculty associate, Dr. Beaulieu’s work spans from the classroom to archaeological sites, with a focus on former internment camps and working with First Nations groups.

In this episode, Dr. Beaulieu explains her work with ground-penetrating radar (GPR) and how it intersects with Indigenous traditions, her approach to Indigenizing research work, and uncovering her family’s history for a chapter in a book recently released by UFV’s South Asian Studies Institute.

Content warning: This episode includes discussions of Indian Residential Schools, missing children, and suicide.

Dr. Beaulieu’s chapter in “A Social History of South Asians in British Columbia,” along with the many other stories in that publication, are available to read for free online at: saclp.southasiancanadianheritage.ca/social-history-book

She also recently presented at The National Gathering on Unmarked Burials in Edmonton. Her presentation is detailed on pages 33-37 of the summary report, available at: https://osi-bis.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/OSI-SummaryReport-Edmonton-Sept2022.pdf
