Angelika Ellen Joseph is a Research Associate and Lecturer at Dartmouth College, affiliated with the Department of Native American & Indigenous Studies. She holds the Charles Eastman Fellowship and is actively engaged in research on Indigenous architectural histories and decolonial design practices.
Education:
- PhD, Princeton University
- MA, Princeton University
- BA, University of California, Davis
Her research focuses on Native American architectural histories, land-based activism, and decolonization through design. She employs visual and spatial research methods to explore how Indigenous communities, particularly during the Red Power Movement (1969–1973), have reimagined sovereignty through the occupation and transformation of colonial landscapes. Her work highlights the roles of women, children, and the land in these lived experiments of resistance and self-determination.
Her current book project, Red Power Takeover: Native American Activists, Colonial Landscapes, and the Design of Sovereignty, examines the seizure of colonial architecture as a form of protest and spatial reclamation. Though no recent articles are listed, her scholarly focus spans Indigenous cultural history, intertribal solidarity, and the politics of space and place in modern and contemporary contexts.
As a Charles Eastman Fellow, she contributes to the advancement of Native American and Indigenous scholarship. She mentors students and integrates interdisciplinary methodologies into her teaching and research. She is involved in academic speaking engagements, further amplifying Indigenous voices and perspectives in architectural and historical discourse.
Labs and Research Groups: While not explicitly named, her work is situated within the intellectual and institutional framework of the Native American & Indigenous Studies program at Dartmouth, which supports collaborative, community-engaged research on Indigenous knowledge systems and decolonial praxis.
