Dr. Michelle Pidgeon

My current research agenda is located within the areas of higher education and Indigenity. In particular, I am interested in the intersections between student affairs and services, recruitment and retention, Indigenous peoples, and student success in post-secondary education. I am also passionate about expanding understanding of Indigenous research processes and research ethical protocols. Theoretically, this research agenda is influenced by Indigenous theory, social reproduction theory, and retention theories. My current research projects involve investigating university and college responsibility and accountability to Aboriginal higher education practices and Aboriginal undergraduate student transition to graduate school.
