“Illegal Tender: Sexuality and the Invasion of America.” This journal article will reexamine the sexualized nature-feminist and masculist- of first encounters between European/ early American explorers and Native Americans in U.S. history.
“Blood Red: History, Case Law and Federal Mixed-Blood Indian Policy.” This book will examine Native American mixed-blood case law in the history of American jurisprudence. To that end, in 2012 in conjunction with a graduate student under independent study, I have researched nine additional legal cases and 17 articles from legal journals pertinent to the topic. I intend to begin collating the material, and outlining the book this summer (2013). Research materials are available for review.
