| Biography:
|
|
Professor Chamberlain teaches American Indian history on the graduate and undergraduate levels. Her preparation at the universities of Colorado and New Mexico included the study of historical methods, anthropology, Native American literature, and even two years of the Navajo language. It is probably not surprising that she approaches this subject in a multidisciplinary manner that often incorporates art, music, linguistics, fiction, and film. She also teaches the Old West, Native American Women, the Gilded Age, and U.S. Foreign Policy.
Dr. Chamberlain’s research focuses on tribes of the American Southwest and the Southwest Borderlands in the late 19th and 20th centuries. Her published works include books and articles on the Navajos, the Chiricahua Apaches, and the Lincoln County War, as well as a textbook on the West. She is completing a biography of Susan McSween Barber, a 19th-century ranch woman, and an essay on cattle rustling along the U.S. and Mexican border for a book titled Trans-Border Vice scheduled for publication in 2010.
