Biography
Daniel Voth is Métis from the Métis Nation of the Red River Valley. He is a member of the Manitoba Métis Federation and several other provincial Métis political organizations including the Otipemisiwak Métis Government (formerly the Métis Nation of Alberta). Raised in Winnipeg’s inner city and Manitoba’s Interlake region, his research focuses on the political relationships between Métis and First Nations people with particular attention to the way settler-imposed power structures and land dispossession undermine important gender orientations to governance. He is an Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of Calgary, and served as the Director of the International Indigenous Studies Program from 2019 - 2022. He is also a co-convener of the Indigenous Relationality Workshop with Dr. Matthew Wildcat.
Dr. Voth is a director on the SSHRC Partnership Grant Critical Approaches to Indigenous Relationality with directors Dr. Shalene Jobin, Dr. Gina Starblanket, Dr. Matthew Wildcat, Indigenous Engagement Librarian Jessie Loyer and PhD candidate Ryan Crosschild. The grant is supporting 25 different research projects focused on Indigenous Relationality in Canada and the United States.
Dr. Voth earned his Honours BA from the University of Winnipeg in 2007. With research experience developed working at the Manitoba Legislative Assembly, he returned to higher education and earned his PhD from UBC in 2015. In his time as the Director of the International Indigenous Studies Program he designed and implemented a new governance protocol for the program, was part of a team that compared Indigenous Studies programs in North America and the Pacific rim, and served as an expert external reviewer for other Indigenous Studies programs in Canada. From 2022-2023 Dr. Voth held the Fulbright Research Chair in Indigenous Issues at San Diego State University. His research has been published in the Canadian Journal of Political Science, the University of Toronto Law Journal, twice in Native American and Indigenous Studies, Canadian Journal of Urban Research, Journal of American Indian Education, Wicazo Sa and several book chapters.
