Global Indigenous Horror

Naomi Simone Borwein is an academic and a poet. A research associate at Western University in London, Ontario, she teaches at the University of Windsor, which sits on the traditional territory of Three Fires Confederacy of First Nations. Borwein holds a PhD in English literature from the University of Newcastle, Australia, where she studied Aboriginal literature and ways of knowing with Murri scholar Brooke Collins-Gearing. Borwein's research spans from heterogeneous Indigenous literatures, Horror and the Gothic, global anglophone literatures, and historiography to experimental mathematics and its philosophy, and she has published across a broad spectrum of topics. Her research on Indigenous Horror has been reviewed as groundbreaking.

“This volume balances Indigenous theories of narrative and cosmology with Western theories of Gothic and Horror in productive ways, and the contributions give new insights into popular creators while drawing attention to less-well-studied texts that deserve critical attention. Global Indigenous Horror is a timely and welcome addition to the growing field of Indigenous Horror studies.” - Judith Leggatt, associate professor of English at Lakehead University“Intriguing, engaging, and filled with significant insights into the developing conversation about Global Indigenous Horror, this volume brings together a variety of diverse topics and voices. Global Indigenous Horror challenges settler scholar assumptions and proposes new theories and models for evaluating contemporary Indigenous Horror.” - Cailín E. Murray, associate professor of anthropology at Ball State University
