Madison Fowler
I am a white, non-Indigenous, settler PhD candidate in Environmental Science, Studies, and Policy and English with an Indigenous Studies concentration at the University of Oregon–on what is, was, and will always be Kalapuya Ilihi.
I am a scholar of U.S. public lands, U.S. empire, Indigenous borderlands, and theory-making in Indigenous literary and cultural productions. This includes special attention to the relationships between Native nations and their territories and homelands that fall within the boundaries of U.S. public lands.
My dissertation, Public (Border)Lands: Indigenous Futurity Beyond the Infrastructures of U.S. Empire, takes up an infrastructural approach to federal public lands, interrogating them as part of the U.S. imperial project from an Indigenous studies and environmental humanities perspective through field work and literary analysis.
I use she/they pronouns.
