Jordan Abel

About the Author

Jordan Abel is a poet and scholar whose innovative work explores the intersections of Indigenous identity, language, and colonialism through experimental forms and conceptual frameworks. Drawing from his Nisga'a heritage, Abel reappropriates historical texts and cultural artifacts to challenge dominant narratives and reclaim narrative agency. His writing often blends poetry with visual and digital elements, pushing the boundaries of traditional literature while addressing themes of erasure, resilience, and cultural survival. As an assistant professor at the University of British Columbia, Abel's contributions extend to critical theory and Indigenous studies, influencing a new generation of writers and thinkers committed to decolonial practices.
