Cory Wright-Maley

I am the Editor of ASSERT and Associate Professor of Education at St. Mary’s University in Calgary (Mohkinstis), Canada in Treaty 7 Territory on the Traditional Lands of the Niitsitipi (Blackfoot), the land of my birth. My ultimate goal is to foster in new teachers the skills and passion they need to become the finest educators the profession has to offer. A part of that goal is wanting teachers to have access to important research that is practically oriented. I am interested in socioeconomic equity, political theory, and simulations. My own professional development efforts have been focused on learning from Indigenous Elders and Traditional Knowledge Keepers. I enjoy writing about political issues and simulations. I have been fortunate to travel to more than 50 countries, and lived in the United States for eleven years, where I taught high school social studies for six of them.
