Research Interests
Anthropology of the state, critical indigenous studies, settler colonialism, youth studies, anthropology of development, anti-racist and Indigenous feminism and ethnographic/curatorial methods. My first book,听Prairie Rising: Indigenous Youth, Decolonization, and the Politics of Intervention, is a critical, ethnographic inquiry into colonial state interventions in the lives of urban indigenous youth. I am currently working on two research/advocacy projects: 1) A new ethnographic project focused on theorizing how conquest and ongoing settler colonial violence necessarily factor into debates over the climate crisis. How is indigeneity taken up in 鈥渃limate justice鈥? How are Indigenous political struggles for decolonization and freedom made both audible and powerful within the broader scope of impending planetary dystopia? 2) A long-term ethnographic project exploring the politics of development and youth organizing in contemporary Cambodia, India, and the United States.听
