Yá'át'ééh!

I am an Associate Professor at Diné College and just wrapped up a National Endowment for the Humanities fellowship. My research focuses on Indigenous Research Methodologies and Methods, Traditional Ecological Knowledge, Indigenous Relationships with Human and Non-Human Animals, and Epistemological Imperialism. My latest project transitions my dissertation on Navajo sheep butchering into a book project. You can follow that progress on my blog!
