Haunting Settled Ground: Haunted Heritage in Settler Colonial Ontario

Osgoode Township Museum

Join Dr. Alicia Edwards-Boon as she shares her research on haunted heritage sites in Ontario.

<p>The Osgoode Township Museum is excited to welcome historian Dr. Alicia Edwards-Boon. Dr. Alicia Edwards-Boon is a researcher in the field of Gothic tourism and heritage. She completed her PhD with the Centre for Gothic Studies at Manchester Metropolitan University, Manchester, UK. Her thesis explored ghost tourism in London from the nineteenth-century to the present, examining various kinds of tourist practices including: reading literature, participating on walking tours and visiting heritage sites, and playing historical video games. It was during her postdoctoral fellowship at York University where she re-oriented her focus on her ongoing project of exploring the intersections of Gothic heritage and marginalized histories, particularly the use of Gothic to narrate the Black Canadian experience. She is currently a MA Public History candidate at Carleton University where she researches ghost tourism, specifically guided walking tours, as a modern-day act of settler-colonialism. Her scholarship has a sustained focus on the relationship between the Gothic, the supernatural, and space/place, and its impact on how we imagine, narrate, and experience those locations.</p>
