The SFU Research Centre of Scottish Studies congratulates Kaitlyn MacInnis, who has won the 2024-2025 David and Mary Macaree Graduate Fellowship in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. MacInnis previously won the fellowship in 2018, while she was completing her Master of Arts in history at SFU. She has remained at the university to finish her doctorate in history as well.

The fellowship provides financial support to graduate students who demonstrate academic and research excellence and whose research focuses on Scottish history, politics, or culture. In MacInnis' case, her MA work focused on Jacobitism, memory, and old age, while her PhD research turns to the history of beyond-human animals鈥攏amely, sheep. She describes her research as follows:

Noticing the way that sheep are sometimes vilified and are otherwise neglected as historical subjects in the historiography of the Highland Clearances (c. 1750-1850), MacInnis seeks to understand the lived experiences of sheep before, during, and after this agricultural regime change. She will also construct a sheep-centered history of the St Kilda archipelago, where the sheep who have been understood as 鈥渨ild鈥� may instead embody a more complex picture of domestication.

MacInnis approaches Animal History through a Critical Animal Studies framework which, among other imperatives, highlights intersections of power and oppression. Like Critical Animal Studies, Animal History leans into interdisciplinarity, drawing particularly on scientific understandings of animals. In addition to scientific knowledge, she is interested in incorporating vernacular and relational ways of knowing animals, especially through nonviolent relationships in sanctuary settings.
