Lindsay Holmgren
BA, MA, PhD, English Literature
With an MA and a PhD in English Literature from McGill, Dr. Holmgren听focuses her research on how language influences audiences and the responsibility that influence entails. Thus, her graduate work, which took philosophical and narratological approaches to literature, informs her teaching and research. Her publications听include articles on听literary criticism, film, economics, medical pedagogy and practice, and narrative theory.听Especially important for Dr. Holmgren's current research听is the application of narrative theory听to the analysis of听literature, economic drivers, normative regional and national ideologies, and International Organizations. Her theoretical background听underlies Dr. Holmgren鈥檚 study of narrative in the economic arena听for which she holds an Insight Grant听from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. A past president of the International Society for the Study of Narrative, Holmgren is honoured to serve听as Conference Liaison, along with Dan Punday, of the Society.
Holmgren's current research project, H-CUE, combines her narratological and economic research areas. Philosophically and ideologically, the research is concerned with the relationship between COVID-19/Climate Change and the confrontation with finitude that these phenomena have engendered among Canadian university students and recent graduates. Using the narratological methods of linguistic anthropology, Holmgren and her team have interviewed over 400 students at five major research institutions across Canada, using qualitative and quantitative approaches to analyze their findings.
