In addition to being an Adjunct Professor in First Nations Studies at UNBC, Tyler McCreary is an Associate Professor of Geography at Florida State University (FSU). He is also affiliated to the Native American and Indigenous Studies Center, African American Studies Program, and Honors Program at FSU. His research examines how settler colonialism and racial capitalism shape processes of environmental, labour, and community governance in North America. His research has analyzed themes such as how North American environmental governance processes address Indigenous concerns; how Indigenous territorial claims impact resource sector labour markets; and how urban and regional governance processes reproduce the historic marginalization of Indigenous families living in towns and cities. He has authored over forty peer-reviewed articles and book chapters. He has also written or edited four books. His first book, "Shared Histories: Witsuwit’en-Settler Relations in Smithers, British Columbia, 1913-1973" (Creekstone Press, 2018), won the British Columbia Lieutenant Governor's Medal for historical writing and the Prince George Library Jeanne Clarke Award for regional history. His most recent book, “Indigenous Legalities, Pipeline Viscosities: Colonial Extractivism and Wet’suwet’en Resistance,” is being released in early 2024 by University of Alberta Press.
