Joshua B. Nelson, a citizen of
the Cherokee Nation and a native Oklahoman, is an Assistant Professor
of English and affiliated faculty member with Native American Studies
focusing on American Indian literature. His current project, Progressive Traditions: Cherokee Cultural Studies, looks to dismantle the pervasive assimilated/traditional
dichotomy plaguing American Indian literary criticism to explore the
empowering potential of traditional, adaptive strategies and practices
to address cultural and historical dilemmas. He takes a pluralist
interest in tribalist, postcolonial, anarchistic, feminist, and
pragmatic theoretical perspectives, with his work appearing in the American Indian Culture and Research Journal and Great Plains Quarterly. He teaches courses on American
Indian literature, literary criticism, and film. He
and his wife divide their time between Norman and Park Hill.
