Clint Carroll is Associate Professor of Ethnic Studies at the 澳门开奖结果2023开奖记录. He received his doctorate from the University of California Berkeley in Environmental Science, Policy, and Management, and his bachelor鈥檚 degree from the University of Arizona in Anthropology, with a minor in American Indian Studies. A citizen of the Cherokee Nation, he works closely with Cherokee people in Oklahoma on issues of land conservation and the perpetuation of land-based knowledge and ways of life. His book,听听(2015, University of Minnesota Press), explores how tribal natural resource managers navigate the material and structural conditions of settler colonialism, as well as how recent efforts in cultural revitalization are informing such practices through traditional forms of decision-making and local environmental knowledge.听
Dr. Carroll has received fellowships from the Ford Foundation, the Udall Foundation, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and the National Science Foundation. He was also a 2014-2016 Fellow of听the Native Investigator Development Program, funded by the National Institutes of Health. His work has been published in Ethnohistory, Geoforum, Environmental Research, EcoHealth, and numerous edited collections. He is an active member of the Native American and Indigenous Studies Association and the Society for Applied Anthropology.听Dr. Carroll currently co-edits the Cambridge University Press series, with Joy Porter (University of Hull) and Dina Gilio-Whitaker (California State University San Marcos). He also serves on the editorial boards for Cultural Anthropology and Environment and Society. He is a board member for Indigenous Education, Inc. (home of the Cobell Scholarship) and was recently elected to the Denver Botanic Gardens Board of Trustees (2022-2025).听
What's New
In my current work, funded by a , I co-direct with a group of elders and wisdom-keepers a land education program for five Cherokee students; I also serve as Principal Investigator on our study about Cherokee plant gathering access in rural northeastern Oklahoma. Through this integrated education and community-based research project, the elders, students, and I seek to formulate lasting methods for maintaining Cherokee land-based knowledge and to better understand how Cherokee people are negotiating access to land due to complex ownership patterns and the impact of shifting climate conditions. We hope that the results of the research will inform advancements in community-defined and -directed local ecosystem stewardship and tribal land conservation strategies.听For more information, visit the .
