Fiona Nicoll
Dr Fiona Nicoll is a Professor in Political Science at the University of Alberta in Canada and Adjunct Professor at RMIT in Australia. As a transnational scholar working across two white settler-colonizing states, her research catalyzes interdisciplinary conversations about some of the most challenging cultural and political issues of our time, from gambling regulation, white nationalist social media platforms, the biopolitics of reconciliation, queer theory and white ignorance in the neoliberal university. Beyond traditional academic monographs, including From Diggers to Drag Queens and Gambling in Everyday Life, Dr Nicoll applies her research expertise to facilitate social history, public art and other knowledge transfer projects. As the founding editor and current co-editor of Critical Gambling Studies, an international, interdisciplinary, double-blind peer-reviewed journal and blog, Dr Nicoll works together with scholars around the world to shift academic discourses beyond a narrow focus on ‘problem gambling’.
