She researches in both British Columbia and Newfoundland with a focus on Indigenous issues, race, gender and space in both of these provinces. Morton also looks at the physical structures of residential schools and the ways in which they continue to hold power and meaning. In this new era, post truth and reconciliation commission, she examines how these crumbling buildings are still significant in the Canadian landscape.
