Professional Interests
As a cultural anthropologist with graduate training in Native American and gender studies, I focus on how people produce new cultural meanings and identities over time. I am particularly interested in the methodological combination of ethnographic, historical, and archival approaches.
Specialties: Native American and Indigenous Studies. Native American education. Native American representations in popular culture and art. Tribal sovereignty and economic enterprise. The politics of Indigenous identities and race. Gender. Cultural Production. Multispecies Entanglements. United States (Maine, Oklahoma), Russia, and Ukraine.
Dr. N’s Current Research consists of two projects: Multispecies entanglements: Passamaquoddy petroglyphs and Cat breeders in the US and abroad.
Current and Former PhD Students’ Research: Multispecies entanglements in the US/Mexico borderlands; Indigenous Water Protectors, pipelines, and other-than-human kin in Minnesota; the effects of water carrying on women in Jamaica; understanding the environmental costs of maternity deserts in Maine and Atlantic Canada.
