Dr. Willmott is currently writing a book entitled Clothed Encounters about the role of clothing and textiles in economic and political relations between British and Great Lakes Algonquian peoples. She is also engaged in a variety of studies that more broadly address Algonquian peoples’ historic and contemporary material, visual and oral cultures. She is also a core member of an international digital circulation project, the Great Lakes Research Alliance for the Study of Aboriginal Culture (GRASAC), and the SIUE IRIS Center, both of which serve as resources to facilitate greater access to indigenous heritage through new technologies.
