Biography

Brinker Ferguson, PhD, is a Lecturing Professor in the Native American and Indigenous Studies Department and Research Associate at Dartmouth College. Her work focuses on postcolonial and Indigenous approaches to material culture archives as sites of power in the politics of remembering and forgetting. This informs her work in Aotearoa/New Zealand, especially with Māori-led research centers and projects that center heritage continuation and Indigenous sovereignty.
