Anna Shah Hoque is an SSHRC doctoral candidate at the Institute of Feminist & Gender Studies at the University of Ottawa. For her dissertation, she is developing a feminist visual ethnography of archival practices, focusing on contemporary, place-based artistic responses by Indigenous and South Asian visual artists and curators in settler Canada. Anna theorizes from her position as a diasporic, queer, feminist, caste-privileged Muslim, and disabled South Asian refugee, now a citizen in settler Canada. Her work emphasizes Indigenous and Global South intellectual contributions, integrating a South-to-South analytical framework that challenges traditional Euro-American academic paradigms, which is vital for advancing scholarly discussions on decolonial practices and fostering meaningful cross-cultural dialogues in academia and beyond.

She has taught at Carleton University, Concordia University, and McGill University. Her teaching praxis is grounded in decolonial, anti-racist, anti-casteist, and feminist scholarship. Anna’s teaching philosophy bridges the academy and community beyond course materials. Her interdisciplinary foundation encompasses Cultural Studies, Canadian Studies, Feminist and Gender Studies, Indigenous Studies, Sexuality Studies, and Critical Race and Ethnicity.

Anna also maintains an independent curatorial and art practice, deeply committed to amplifying marginalized voices, particularly those of Indigenous, Black, and racialized queer and trans communities. She is currently working on a feminist ethnographic film on matrilineal inheritances and art-making with First Nations artist Christine Toulouse. Anna co-curated , which highlighted stories of queer communities long excluded from local public history, including Indigenous, Black, and racialized queer and trans peoples. She also curated and produced the oral storytelling initiative, , supported by CUAG (Carleton University Art Gallery) and the Canada Council for the Arts. Anna serves on the Board of Directors at and .
