Nicholas Brown

Nicholas Brown’s research examines the production of cultural landscapes in settler colonial contexts, focusing in particular on how space and time are partitioned in ways that impose limitations on Indigenous political life. In addition to exploring links between geographical and political imaginations, his research looks at the politics and ethics of connectivity embedded in diverse articulations of landscape. Brown is the co-author of Re-Collecting Black Hawk: Landscape, Memory, and Power in the American Midwest (with Sarah E. Kanouse, University of Pittsburgh Press, 2015). His scholarship and creative work have been published in the journals Settler Colonial Studies and Critical Planning, as well as in the edited volumes Critical Landscapes: Art, Space, Politics (University of California Press, 2015) and Settler City Limits: Indigenous Resurgence and Colonial Violence in the Urban Prairie West (University of Manitoba Press, 2019). Brown has organized exhibitions and symposia such as Just Space(s) (Los Angeles), Urban, Rural, Wild (Chicago), and Critical Spatial Practice (online). He is Associate Teaching Professor in the Urban Landscape Program and the Department of History at Northeastern University, Boston, Massachusetts. Previously Brown taught in the American Indian & Native Studies Program and the Department of Geographical and Sustainability Sciences at the University of Iowa.
