Jerome Jeffery Clark (Diné) is an assistant professor in the New College's School of Humanities, Arts and Cultural Studies. His current research investigates Diné life-seeking moments that counter fear, hopelessness, and death by imagining and creating alternatives to settler colonial domination. Clark is co-editing a volume with Dr. Elise Boxer, tentatively titled, "Nation to Academy and Back Again: The Formation and Movement of Indigenous Theory and Praxis," currently under contract with the University of Arizona Press. His research areas include Indigenous literature and stories, decolonization, settler colonialism, masculinity, and Indigenous futurity and imagination.
