Native American Studies: Faculty

Dr. Mishuana Goeman (Seneca) currently teaches in Native American Studies, English, and Women and Gender Studies. She arrives at Dartmouth via Stanford's Modern Thought and Literature program (MA, PhD 2003) where she began her interdisciplinary manuscript that incorporates literature, gender and cultural studies into the field of Native American Studies from which she centers her work. Her research examines the way Western concepts of space and Native concepts of space collide producing tensions in the social, political, economical and cultural narrations. While at Stanford she was a fellow at the Institute of Research on Women and Gender and she was a dissertation fellow at the Research in Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity, both reflecting her interest in these broader areas of research. She was a UC Presidential Post-doctoral Fellow and UC Berkeley in the Ethnic Studies department. Her teaching merges with her research interests by not merely examining representation in Native texts, but focusing on the way Native people engage and shape the world.
