Rebecca Dobkins

Teaches courses in Native American Studies, Museum Studies, Indigenous Peoples and Human Rights, and Art, Culture, and Power. Her research deals primarily with traditional and contemporary arts by Native American artists, and she is interested in how those artists express complex issues of identity, change, and renewal in their work. As a cultural anthropologist, she is committed to Ethnic Studies because she believes the field offers a foundation for understanding and transforming American society.
