Patricia Rubertone’s research and teaching navigates the intersections of anthropology (especially, anthropological archaeology), and history to explore indigenous and settler colonial experiences, landscape and memory, and representations of modernity in the Native Northeast. Her research on Providence challenges myths of Native American disappearance and urban life by re-envisioning this city’s past through the everyday experiences of Indigenous people. She teaches a course on “Indians, Colonists, and Africans in New England” about the intertwined histories of the region’s peoples as viewed from the perspectives of settler colonialism and survivance. Her new course, “Archaeology of Settler Colonialism,” considers settler colonialism and resistances within a global comparative framework with emphasis on North America.

The archaeological project that Andrew Scherer directs involves collaboration with an indigenous community (Lacanja Tzeltal) in Chiapas, Mexico. Although his research is focused on the Classic period Maya, the process of archaeology has implications for contemporary indigenous folks. More broadly, he is tuned in to indigenous issues in Mexico and Guatemala and minored in Native American studies as an undergraduate, and is therefore mindful of the points of articulation and friction between anthropology and Indigenous studies.
