Lois Klassen is a postdoctoral fellow at SFU's criticalMediArtstudio. Known for long-range projects that invite and engage participants in collective actions, Klassen’s projects deliberately face ethical demand by way of social, aesthetic and material methods. Her academic research has focused on ethics and participatory art practices—a topic she covers for the Canadian Association of Research Ethics Boards Circle of Experts. She was a 2020 Fulbright Fellow at University of Texas in El Paso (Center for Inter-American Border Studies and the Ruben Center for the Visual Arts).
