Justine Woods
Emerging Graduate Researcher
Justine Woods (she/her) is a PhD student in the Media and Design Innovation program at X University. She holds a Master of Design in Interdisciplinary Art, Media and Design from OCAD University and a Bachelor of Design in Fashion Design from X University. Justine’s research and design practice centres fashion and garment-making as a practice-based method of inquiry towards re-stitching alternative worlds that celebrate and mobilize Indigenous resurgence. Her work prioritizes all of the relationships that make up her identity as a Penetanguishene Aabitaawikwe; an identity she has inherited from her family and her Aabitaawizininiwag ancestors. Justine is a member of what is presently known as the Georgian Bay Métis Community and is a descendant of the St. Onge and Berger-Beaudoin families.
