American Indian studies’ research and publication record is modest but significant, and exhibits much promise for the years ahead. Since 2003, faculty have produced three books, 17 peer-reviewed articles, five non-refereed articles, eight book chapters, six encyclopedia articles and five monographs and technical reports, and earned 12 grants and fellowships. Moreover, nearly all of the faculty have a variety of works-in-progress, which will be completed, published or substantially developed over the next academic year.
The highlights of the department’s collective record include:
- Susan A. Miller (a former member of the AIS faculty) and James Riding In have edited an anthology titled "Native America Writes Back: The Decolonization Reader in American Indian History," which is under contract negotiations with Texas Tech University Press, which is known for publishing nonfiction titles in the areas of natural history and the natural sciences and all aspects of the Great Plains and the American West, especially biography, history, memoir and travel.
- Also with Texas Tech University Press is a manuscript under review titled "Indigenous Albuquerque" by Myla Vicenti Carpio.
