Amber Dean

    Amber Dean employs a feminist, interdisciplinary approach to explore the social and political implications of representations of murdered or missing Indigenous women in Canada. Her work critically examines diverse cultural productions, including documentaries, photography, media, and artistic renderings. She also investigates memorials, social justice activism, and the self-representations of the disappeared women. Dean seeks to provoke a broader sense of implication and reconsideration of how and why these events were possible.

      The book critically examines how representations of murdered or missing women can unintentionally contribute to the dehumanization of sex work and Indigenous communities, particularly in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside. Through interrogation of these narratives, it explores the complexities of identity and societal perceptions, questioning the implications of how these women are depicted and the broader cultural impacts of such representations.
