I joined the Department of American Studies in fall 2010, after serving as a faculty member in the History Department at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio and as Assistant Director of the D’Arcy McNickle Center for American Indian and Indigenous Studies at the Newberry Library in Chicago. My research and teaching focuses on American Indian history since 1887, political activism, ethnohistorical methods, ethnobiography, memory, and global indigenous rights. My first book, Native Activism in Cold War America: The Struggle for Sovereignty (2008), won the inaugural Labriola Center American Indian National Book Award in 2009. I am the co-editor, with anthropologist Loretta Fowler, of Beyond Red Power: American Indian Politics and Activism since 1900 (2007) and, with Helen Sheumaker, Memory Matters (2011). In 2013, the University of Chicago Press published my revised and expanded fourth edition of William T. Hagan’s classic work American Indians and in November of 2015, the University of North Carolina Press will release Say We Are Nations: Documents of Politics and Protest in Indigenous America since 1887. My essays have appeared in American Indian Quarterly, American Indian Culture and Research Journal, Western Historical Quarterly, and Chronicle of Higher Education. I have been fortunate in receiving research support via fellowships and grants from the American Philosophical Society, Organization of American Historians, Friends of the Princeton University Library, Morris K. Udall Archives, the Newberry Library, the Carl Albert Center for Congressional Research and Studies, the Humanities Center at Miami University, and the Institute for the Arts and Humanities, University Research Council, and William R. Kenan, Jr. Charitable Trust at the University of North Carolina. My current research and writing projects continue to explore American Indian political activism broadly conceived and have begun to move into the realm of ethnobiography. I am in the process now of completing a monograph that focuses on the life of Ponca activist Clyde Warrior, a central figure in the American Indian youth movement of the 1960s. In addition to publishing, I enjoy working on projects that engage the public. In 2005, I served as program director for a series of public events at Miami University devoted to Indian politics and culture. In 2007, I was honored to have Della Warrior (Otoe-Missouria) invite me to create and install an exhibit on the life and legacy of her late husband for the Ponca Tribe of Oklahoma’s Clyde Warrior Memorial Building. In 2010, I co-organized a public symposium entitled “Memory Matters” as one of the two inaugural John W. Altman Fellows at Miami University’s Humanities Center. Over the past few years, I have also been involved in Teaching American History and other professional development programs for public school teachers sponsored by the National Council for History Education, National Underground Railroad Freedom Center, Ohio Historical Society, and Ohio Humanities Council. I am currently completing a 24-lecture “Great Courses” on American Indian history for The Teaching Company.
